That's really tough with a cat, if it's like 20s-30s he'll be fine but if it starts getting below 10 he has to go inside.
I have 4 kids and I generally think of them as indoor animals to be honest. |

Our farm cats seem to be fine. They find their warms spots and suck it up.

Insulate it & put a blanket in it. They’ll be fine.

Good advice here.

I've never understood this crazed culture that freaks out when they see a dog outside in cold weather. It's a ****ing wolf. What did dogs and wolves do before we have nice houses? Plenty of wild dogs and wild feral barn cats that make due. If I had a dog, it would be strictly an outdoor animal. Dogs smell and destroy houses. But seem to make great pets and good hunting animals. Dogs used to be either an indoor or outdoor pet, but in the last quarter of the century they've moved to solely an indoor pet for some reason.

I'd nail patch of gunny sack to the front of it for an easy door that will block the wind. Otherwise looks fine...

Yeah. Keep the wind off and they can retain heat pretty well.
One thing you need to do is make sure it’s the warmest place around. If they go looking for a warmer place coyotes will have breakfast. Off hand question, why are you opposed to keeping it in the shop? We try to keep a cat in our shop to keep the mice down. |

I have had outside cats for years.
Provide a shelter with straw, put on Southern Exposure of house protected from wind and rain. When it gets super nasty cold I allow them in my heated garage. Always make sure they have water |

It's amazing how we think animals need our help to survive in the outdoors. It's kind of arrogant.

Put a wind break on the front of it and lots of straw inside.

I both insulated it with 1/2 inch styro on 3 walls and went two panels deep on the base under the floor and put a blanket down in there. I'm considering an animal safe heating pad beneath the blanket. Quote:

I also have a greenhouse which I had not considered because with the skirts up it doesn't have much of a temperature difference and with them down he has no access. But... it would at least cut the wind down further for him and he would still have access to the outside with the skirts up. |

When I was watching over a stray (who I now have), I used to fold up a light blanket and put heat packs under it. She loved it.
Cost a bit though. |
