Question by Kenady: How can i modify a cat shelter?
So there is a feral cat that I feed daily on a schedule, and my yard is about 3/4 an acre. So I have a random space of trees (tree island) and in it I hid a cat shelter. However she chooses to snooze under a stone bench. This protects her from rain and hail, but not wind and snow. Should I modify it so it protects her, or should I just stick the shelter under there, or just leave it? Also it would be nice if someone could give me some tips on feral cat care, habits, and behavior. Thanks!

It is summer, so the cat isn't thinking of snow now... Lol! It may move into your space when the weather gets worse, but a cool stone bench is perfect cool shade for a cat, because they don't sweat!
In the late fall, place a cat bed or blanket in there. Realize that if you put cat food out, you'll get raccoons, possums. Deer, etc.
Feral cats go where its sheltered and there's food, period. If you place some food out when you come home them back away about 20 feet, it will learn to come and eat on schedule.
