Instructions
Remove the lid from a Styrofoam cooler. Measure the sides and bottom of the cooler.
Unfold a Mylar blanket and lay it out flat. Transfer the measurements of the Styrofoam cooler to the blanket, with a ruler and permanent marker. Cut out the pieces with scissors.
Tape the Mylar sheets to all sides of the Styrofoam cooler, with duct tape. Glue the lid on the cooler, with a hot glue gun. Turn the cooler upside down. The lid is now the shelter floor.
Measure a four-sided doorway, on one long side of the cooler, big enough for a cat to pass through easily. Cut through the Styrofoam only. Cut the exposed Mylar sheet on three sides, leaving one side attached to function as a door flap. Lay the remaining Mylar blanket piece on the shelter floor.
