Runaway cat

 Around October last year, a cat started sleeping on top of the chicken coop. I worried (not about the chicken) about why the cat wasn't going home, I thought someone would be worried.

 I've seen the cat taking a nap with other cats in an old nearby apartment several times.



 Look at him closely, he has a mark on his ear, so he has been neutered from volunteer group of cat.  The cat was afraid of humans and didn't want to be touched.

Anyways I started calling him "Hako" and feeding him. 


 I made best possible but poor room for him. it's got cardboard and Styrofoam, My wool sweater and socks and cat heater inside. 

I don't know why, but Hako has started sleep inside the box every day and never returns to the apartment.


This month, he allowed me to touch him. and I thought I heard he said "thank you with tearful eyes. Also he remembered his name "Hako means box.



However It's best for Hako to return apartment. It's below freezing in the morning here and all the water freezes. 



Oh, My husband and I built this humble chicken coop. It's winter specification, to keep out wind and prevent weasels from stealing chickens. ( Firewood dried underneath, and goat's butt) 


 My chicken, Ms. Orchid is doing well. She fell from birdhouse of 30cm (12 inch) height and she hurt a little her leg. My husband laughed, He said " I thought a chicken was a bird !!" but I got worried and  thought to call the doctor. but she recovered within few days...!

 By the way, If Hako continues to live here, we will make him a warmer cat house with wood. ( He doesn't want to come into my house because we have a dog. )

P.S
We made a wooden room for him :) The electrical code is for the cat heater.
