Solar Powered Lights to heat a Cat house that is outside?
Hil Asked: Solar Powered Lights to heat a Cat house that is outside?
Hey everyone, I've recently befriended a stray cat. It is getter cooler and cooler out, and I would like to make her a house. I've deceided to make her a home from an old cooler and cut a hole in it. I'll use a heating pad also. The only thing is I have no power outlet on my house to connect the cord from the heating pad to. Is there such thing as a small solar powered like generator I could plug the heating pad into? That would be awesome. please help!

Thereare solar panels that produce the needed power but they are not cheap. If you really want to help the cat you can install a outside outlet , it is easy to do.

There is nothing that small yet. You could buy a small solar system and connect the heater too it and other items (outdoor light timer, cellphone charger, ect)

Adding an outlet outside or utilizing one that is already outside would be the most cost effective thing to do. A 15 watt or 20 watt bulb would be adequate, but it has to be incandescent to produce adequate heat without the potential of getting too hot. It could be done with solar, there are 12 volt Mazda based lightbulbs like you normally find in the home but you would need a large panel of about 75 Watts or greater and a pair of decent batteries to be adequately set up.
A less technological way to do it would be to make something similar to a 2 room dog house so the cat can get out of the wind and rain, and if insulated with 1 inch of foam and loaded with some hay for the cat to settle into, the cat should be reasonably comfortable at temps a little below zero F if not a bit colder. Just make sure they have adequate food and water as well.
