Week One with the barn cats: We’re getting to know the barn cats better. At first, I had pillows everywhere inside of the rustic plywood cabinets leftover from the renovation, kibble mixed with a can of friskies, and a covered litter box. 👎👎👎🐈🐈⬛🐈 Barney was sleeping in the litter box, there was 💩 all over the pillows and blankets, and the food was hardly touched.
They love it behind the wooden boxes, up against the wall, nestled behind a cardboard box of window screens. I tried putting the pillows there but they said no thanks.
So I turned the crates towards the wall and lined them with straw. This they like! They also like the dry kibble separate from the canned food. They’re using the litter box without the cover. Maybe I’ll try putting it back on. Got any advice?
