Making a basic shelter for the community cats.

18/07/2025 by A learning buddhist...

It was already past midnight but i am determined to get it done. I know 花包 loves carton boxes. I promised her three days ago that I would get a carton box for her. I forgot about it until last night.

I bought a washing machine more than a week ago. I kept the box for seven days just in case if the washing machine didn’t function properly, I can do a one to one exchange.

The carton box has to be flat when I brought it to the feeding area, otherwise it can’t go into my car. I spent half an hour cutting and tapping the box. Trying to make it sturdy. I used up the scotch tape and I am not done with all the tapping yet. I’ll have to get a new scotch tape tomorrow.

花包

She had been hiding and peeping at what I was doing. I knew she was somewhere at a different corner peeping because whenever I looked around, I saw half of her face looking at me.

I left a small carton box inside for her to sleep. The shelter looks big and I am thinking of adding a big carton box and a cooling mat for her.

After I left, I saw an unwanted carton box about 150m away. I took and folded it and walked all the way back. She was already sleeping in the shelter when I was there. I was glad that she likes it. Somehow the shelter looks a little empty.

The cooling mat and the carton box are ready! Instead of bringing it to her late at night, I am hoping to be there in the early afternoon. I told another feeder who was also feeding her and she will add a scratching post.

With the shelter, may 花包 and her good buddy, Curtain, have a safe and peaceful place to sleep!

  • “Bhikkhus, dwell with yourselves as an island, with yourselves as a refuge, with no other refuge; with the Dhamma as an island, with the Dhamma as a refuge, with no other refuge. ~ SN 22.43

  • “Enough, Vakkali! Why do you want to see this foul body? One who sees the Dhamma sees me; one who sees me sees the Dhamma. For in seeing the Dhamma,Vakkali, one sees me; and in seeing me, one sees the Dhamma.” ~ SN 22.87

  • A place to discover and explore the discourses of the Buddha.
  • I highly recommend reading the sutta translated by Piya Tan. His "Laymen Saints" has been an inspiration to many lay people.
