This Dad Built A ‘Cataquarium’ For Freezing Cats On Thanksgiving

145

Here’s a strange sight that we don’t quite know what to make of: a concerned soul living on a farm built what they call a “cataquarium” for strays or outdoor cats that live in the area to seek shelter in when it gets cold or wet outside. The catch? One side of the enclosure is a window into the owner’s house, meaning that they get to see all the cats hiding inside!

All we know about the creator is that he lives on a farm and that he loves cats. That’s a bit too many cats for any one person to rescue, so providing them with some warmth and shelter seems like the next best thing!

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    Buy plastic tubs with lids from Walmart. Cut a hole and fill with straw. This way your neighborhood cats will have warm place to sleep.
