I moved to a new home (actually a new state) a few years ago, and for somereason my cat wouldn't stop peeing on everything. The couch, the floor, the beds, even in the kitchen. We tried to make her stop. Yes she was pottytrained before we moved. But she wouldn't stop peeing. So my dad got really mad and said that we had to give her away. And me and my brother were VERY upset because we had had her since she was a kitten, and she was I think 4 years old. We begged out dad for more chances but he said no more. Then one day after my brother and I had been thinking for a while, we thought that the weather is nice enough outside, so let's ask if she could be an outdoor cat. Thankfully my dad said okay. Now she is used to living outside, but this year it's going to be more cold then the years before. So I was wondering how I could make my cat a nice warm comfy home for her to sleep in, or just relax in. I know she has fur, but I want her to be okay. She douesn't have to go inside of it.

Your cat could have had a urinary infection. Did you guys ever take it to the vet? You should let it in on very cold days. If you don't, there's always a chance of the cat not making it. I hate to sound this way but it's the truth. I have actually seen what bad weather can do to a cat and it makes me sick. Please consider a hallway or the basement or some part of the house for your cat. Try to convince your dad of that. It could be a urinary tract infection or stress from the move! Your dad should've thought about that!! There are products in stores that can help calm cats down from doing all that stuff. Feliaway is something you plug in and suppose to release a smell that is calming to cats.
Talk to your dad about this especially with the cold weather months up ahead. PLEASE.

If it had been an external cat at all times, I could say that it had tailored to the temperatures, considering ferals can do excellent within the climate. This isn't a feral or a stray. This is a cat that spends part of its time in a at ease residence. Putting it external is a sure surprise to the approach, and fairly merciless in the event you inquire from me. I feel I could touch the RSPCA and allow them to realize. It is a demand that they a minimum of furnish safe haven and remedy external. I would not fear an excessive amount of approximately opening a combat with the neighbor. It appears like they want a few schooling on correct puppy care. Any risk you could do not forget asking them for the cat? Sounds such as you'd make a far larger proprietor than she does. She's without doubt letting a baby (regardless of the age) dictate the family goings-on, so she's no longer amazing at taking good care of human or animal.

I recommend building like a wooden dog house and make a cat flap instead of a door. You could make it slightly bigger to give the cat more room but if it freezes where you live in the winter, DO NOT put a blanket in it. Because if your cat gets it wet or it starts to rain and it gets wet, it will freeze. I really don't recommend your cat being outside when its really cold because your cat could get a cold or freeze. Instead, try asking your dad if you can keep the cat in the garage/basement. Also, try taking a trip to the vet to see if your cat has developed a urinary problem. And if your cat was peeing in the house and it was less then a month or so, it could just be your cat is marking its territory.

She will want to go inside of it if is cold. Get her a box that is inclosed on all four sides and has a flap in the hole for her to get in (or face the hole towards something so the wind can't blow in) and fill it with plenty of straw. Make sure she has fresh water and that it doesn't freeze up. Bring her in your garage if it gets unbearably cold. Even if she decides that she doesn't like her new home, she will find somewhere warm, but I am glad that you are thinking ahead for her.

1st. Check the cat for aurinary tract infection, it is often the reason they pee in strange places. Take a urine sample to a vet.
2nd. Buy a good insulated dog house or cat house for her. You can find one on the internet. AND a nice rug or pillow or bed for cats.
3rd. Put a flap door at your garage or kitchen or garden storage room, so that she can go in there.
4th. When it is really cold, bring her inside. I am sure your parents will agree to bring her inside in one specific room with no carpets for example for the night time.
5th. Spay the cat.
6th. Put a tag with your phone on her, so that you don't lose her.

It might be a Urinary tract infection... but if you do have to keep her outside there is this product called snuggle safe... I write for a website that does product reviews... you heat it up in microwave and wrap it in a towel so that should keep your cat warm...
Hope it helps

Well, build her sort of a dog house,or build like a cubby-hole under a deak or the house. Then put a blanket in it!
