If they are shredders, you’ll need rubber gloves and an outside hose.

Actully, OWL, the ferals around here would move in if it got wet or cold, as they do with the two dog houses that I have reclaimed and left out for them.

Surely, Sergeant Mango would feel at home.

I don’t think my kitties would do very well out in a tent. They’d probably run away.

i’m sure the puppy pads work, but i won’t have to be careful removing them, as this crew are all champion shredders.

It must be terrible to have to live with those. 😈

Your “blue” momma cat could be carrying genes for all of the cat colors, and could have kittens of any color depending on the “father”.

The puppy pads work, but be careful removing them. 😉

tiger cat has a few [not many] cream/tan shades in her fur, but curmudgeon cat is really the only non-grayscale cat here.

I use puppy training pads, which are like disposable diapers in the bottom of the carrier, since the vet ditched a couple of the towels I used to use.

That crew is like a study in grey scale or shades and tints.

i’ve even picked her [momcat] up a few times without suffering any consequences, and managed by sheer good luck to stuff her into a carrier and cart her off to the vet for that all-important operation, but any medication that couldn’t be hidden in food would likely go ungiven. the other 2 haven’t made that trip yet. i can lure them into carriers with food, but then they can’t get operated on [or else they have to stay in the carriers overnight with no food, water, or bathroom facilities, something i’m not willing to do to them].
