Hi everyone, if I were to make a shelter out of a rubbermaid storage bin how do I cut the entrance hole? I've found many web pages about making these but they kind of skip past that part. It's hard to believe a box cutter would be enough to cut that hard plastic. I don't have electric equipment to use.
Other question....at what temp and conditions do you feel a winter shelter is necessary? If it gets down to 32F at night and is rainy during the day is that enough or would the kitty be okay? My problem is that I have no outdoor space that I own being in an upper floor apartment, so any shelter I put out has to be hidden under a bush somewhere. My worry is that it will draw unwelcome attention to my kitty and potentially make him vulnerable if he's asleep in there and a dog or some children run across it.
Thoughts?
