It still needs:

  1. Roof and roofing felt.
  2. Internal light fitted.
  3. Windowsill.
  4. Cat flap fitted permanently.

The colour is all wrong — I’m going to paint it again with a darker green. It’s also waiting for a proper felt roof, so it isn’t fully waterproof yet.

As you can see I didn’t get as much done as I’d have liked. Still to do:

  1. Drill hole and fit cat flap.
  2. Drill hole and fit a window.
  3. Add the hinged roof.
  4. Cover with timber-effect cladding and paint.

The foundation is a wooden frame bolted into the concrete, with bricks mainly for decoration:

The back frame is built from wood and bolted to the rear wall of the house:

Believe it or not, just this took a whole day (about 8 full hours, if you include the trips to Screwfix, Wickes & Homebase).

Tomorrow:

  1. Add a front frame
  2. Add plywood sides and roof.
  3. Probably I will make one side out of a sheet of perspex so there is a bit of light and she can see out.
  4. The roof will be hinged so we can change the cat litter.
  5. Add a cat flap in one side.

Future jobs:

  1. Seal around the sides so air/water can’t get in.
  2. Add some lead flashing maybe.
  3. Paint it!

Sushi loves Waitrose Duck and Rabbit cat food (adult version). She ate the whole bag in one go, which never happens with other cat food.

I think she might be a growing up posh …

Update: 30p per packet = £ 1.20 per day = £ 438 per year

I like to think she’s dreaming about chasing blackbirds.

It’s bloody hard to take photos of her because she doesn’t stop moving …
