If only we could fix the human housing issues so easily.

Old coolers work better
HungryRobotics
Legit tires are pretty awesome for home building even humans. I saw them used as inside layer for a house against a hillside. HEAT STORAGE
Yourmomthinksitsfunny
Isn't there a toxic chemical in tires that animals aren't supposed to ingest or be around?
dajuan
Dogs here really like to piss on car tires, just saying.
Shawnthegirl
You can also make some out of old coolers.
DinosaursCameFromSpace
Look for Coro Kitty, it’s a way of making shelters from old political signs
rshewmaker
Lord knows there are plenty of tires everywhere.
Nevawinta
Man even cats are owning property before me
heingericke
For when you're tyred.
stehenallein
the fuck them tires still gotta lotta tred left on em
JackTheRippersBrotherHowie
put 4 used tires in ur bedroom and close the door when u go to sleep and see how you like the smell after 8 hrs
MissShelby
ONLY in winter, though. There are better options that are 4 seasons. Tire shelters kill wildlife and pets in the summer...
wattavan
use all-season tires!
Duskz
Why, again?
PinchyStryder
They won't be able to lift the flap as they are two tyred

People are gonna look at me weird when I tell them I'm going down to the local cat house
Blue4Five
Residue from old tires is poisonous. We call them 'death rings' on the ocean floor - nothing grows on them or around them.
bassaro
No, no, it's venomous. You die if it's injected into the blood.
SelvonPlays
No, this would actually be a poisonous case, the deaths are caused by ingesting it, be that through the skin or swallowing.
SupermassiveZebra
Clearly you have never tried injecting a tire
Fishticuffs
He obviously eats them if you can read.
Kaysmira
I think the most reasonable shelters I've seen were made with a big plastic tote, insulation, and a smaller plastic tote, with straw>>
Kaysmira
bedding. And if you feel bad enough for the cats to try this, you should also work with a trap, neuter, release program to really solve it.
TheHengeProphet
I love cats, but they are one of the most destructive invasive species... I cannot advocate enabling feral cats.
Dionysus187
Ok, good thing they didn't say anything about feral cats.
TheHengeProphet
If you are housing cats entirely outside, they are likely feral.
Dionysus187
Cat showed up on our acreage a few months ago skinny and meowing. Took about 2 days to be friendly. eats cat food and likes everyone now
Dionysus187
has yet to ever be inside a house only in a shed we put the cat food in. Got him fixed a few weeks ago and just let him back out
Tokomek
They stopped making playground ground cover out of used tires because they found they leached poisons into people coming into contact.
distraingotnobrakes
People hear poison kids and they think meh, but you tell them tires are bad for plants because they leech heavy metals into groundwater ?
mandrigan
Ofc, that's why I got blood and breathing tests at my work. I'm making tires, you can get liver/bladder/lung cancer by being too exposed.
Counterfit
I figured it would be the steel layers eventually poking through
Tokomek
They would shred them and remove the metal with magnets.
hesbeginningtobelieve
How do you cut a hole in a car tire? A sword?
ICameHereToBitchAtYou
Why ever would you want more feral cats around when they've already been verified to be behind at least 33 extinctions of birds/reptiles?
FeChefImgur
My thoughts exactly. Spay/neuter your pets people !
nov227
There are many trap, neuter, release (TNR) programs that result in colonies of non-breeding cats that could benefit from shelter.
Dionysus187
because neutered cats can also be feral cats unless you just like whining
Diabolic7e8
Cause they'll hid in your engine compartment otherwise
isetprettygirlsonfire
Self fixing problem.
mooseablethenok
That's not the animals fault.
Findrek
Fault doesn't enter in to it, I still don't want to lure them to be around, or worse comfortable and breeding more of them.
mooseablethenok
Gee, if only there was some way to catch them, fix them so they can’t have kittens, then release them...
Findrek
Then I still deal with the current strays. I dont get why people insist people accept stray cats, they're a nuisance. They don't fix dogs 1/
Findrek
And let them back into the neighborhood, and even my dog doesn't get to room others property. Keep them safe in your home, or don't. 2/2
goudist
Plus when the raccoons move in you can have some free locally sourced meat.

Trichinosis and just get it up past 170°F you'll be fine.

Sautéed raccoons assholes on a stick. With butter and a little salsa.

Other cat moves into the one below it - "this isn't what I remember the inside of a bird looking like"

This is what i get for working at a tire shop i know all the tire puns but not everyone knows the joke
HailHector
Know what else likes dry, dark, warm places in winter?... Snakes, rats, mice, skunks, racoons, possums, etc.
Mombeater
It's almost like every living creature wants a warm, dry place to live.
LariCheltsy
Me.
YoSamiteSam
Outdoor cats decimate the local and small animal bird population. Please keep your cats inside, like the invasive domestic species they are.
AFriskyJacket
"Snakes, rats, mice, skunks, racoons, possums, etc." aka, cat snacks.
mastertrav666
Nice I love all of those things!
Ringshadow
You know most of what you listed EAT mice right? How dumb are these mice, relocating into the mouths of their predators?
bones1529
so? they need to stay dry and warm too.
floxsyu
IF YOU'RE COLD THEY ARE COLD, LET THEM ALL IN
servingmytimeinusersub
My understanding is that reptiles go into full hibernation. Warmth is actually bad for them in full frozen winter.
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
Interesting thing is that we've altered almost all of the environment to suit us. If we change it to suit them as well, we're (1/2)
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
effectively making "spaceship Earth" where we still control the environment, but it's suitable for sustaining life aboard our ship. (2/2)
TheSpeakerOfTheHouse
For the confused: if we just make it suitable for us, we'll fuck the whole place and it won't be Earth _or_ spaceship Earth.
sarkonas
I'd rather have those live in old tire homes than in my house...
NostrilSnowboarder
Put sign up to let the other animals know.
wandergeist
So for the cats it comes with a free food supply too?
Degia
gamers, introverts
omgtessie
I mean that sounds like meals on wheels for the cats
nangke
Meals *in* wheels
SuperIncoherentRantingMan
So hang a sign on it that says "cats only"?
lukeeoin365
But these are just for cats
StarWarsIsAToxicRelationshipThatICantGetEnoughOf
Wow that made me laugh harder than it should have, thanks.
HailHector
Well, they better put a sign on it then, or they'll have all sorts of non-cat critters in them. ;)
fredzeppelin256
That would be specism, and that's wrong!
isetprettygirlsonfire
Too bad the feral cats killed them all
IWouldDoThings
It's fine that feral cats kill things. It's natural. They are hunters, predatory animals.
BaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaBATMAN
Theres an unnatural amount of cats because we breed them and keep them as pets. They are hurting the natural environment by killing wildlife
isetprettygirlsonfire
The 30+ species that have hunted to extinction would disagree.
MrStealUrMeme
Yeah, I've in a rural area, there are plenty of opossums, skunks, and raccoons still around. Cats don't try to kill animals bigger than them
sciencenf10
They're not even likely to chase a rat. You want rats killed, get a terrier.
isetprettygirlsonfire
You ignored the rest of the list. Where I live bears, coyotes, cougars , bobcats and badgers make sure there are no outdoor cats.
BluLuna
Raccoons, skunks, and opossum are usually avoided by feral cats. At least from what I've seen from our TNR cats on our security cameras.
isetprettygirlsonfire
But killing other wild animals is cool?
BluLuna
That's why we do TNR and paid out of pocket for it, to help with that issue. Humans are the bigger issue by not fixing pets and let them out
BluLuna
One example we caught. /a/piJu5iR
WoefulWombat
I don't see the issue.
bassaro
That's because it's hiding in a tire.
WoefulWombat
Do you normally find yourself ineracting with repurposed tyres?
bassaro
No, you're not supposed to keep the porpoises the tuna nets drag in.
DisgruntledFerret
Sure, why not? I wouldn't pet one, but I wish skunks, raccoons and opossums well.
darkdragonempress
Opossums are also very useful in getting rid of tick populations.
DoktorWeasel
Domestic skunks are apparently very pettable. They have their scent gland removed and are very floofy.
DisgruntledFerret
Yeah, they're part of the weasel family. That's why ferrets have certain glandular issues too!
DoktorWeasel
They used to be considered part of Mustelidae (the weasel family) but got spun off into their own family a while back, Mephitidae.
DoktorWeasel
Still a closely related family though.
Cutthroatlemur
That’s how you make breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Please drill drain holes.
littlefruit
Don't cats hate the smell of rubber?
whatifitoldyouyouweresuperwrong
Solid point mate. Still a good idea with the holes though ?
coffeeismyfriend
And rats
DeadyBearr
Good, that's good for the cats.

And spiders! Can’t forget the spiders..
pretengineer
Stagnant water, shade, and wind protection... all traits of a mosquito harboring site. Females lay 100-300 eggs per day.
syntheticgod8
And be sure to drain the drill holes.

Instructions unclear. Donger stuck in a sink drain.

Why do cats get bones but not mosquitoes??

Because mosquitos are invertebrates.

Homes too.
Jphinz
They said "Winter" idk where you are but there are no mosquitoes in winter around here.
ImShocked
How do you know they didnt?
Youraccountisbannedagainalready
I think this may be for the "copy cats" that may not be a cool cat or kitten and know to do so right meow
Ringshadow
It quite clearly has been given a roof so it won't collect water.
Burke616
Dew is a thing that happens.
pretengineer
One mosquito lays 100 - 300 eggs per day, in as little as one bottle-cap of water.
Googol30
The point is if any water gets in, it will have no way to get out.

Catch and release! Cats have induced ovulation so if the male is shooting blanks the female will not get preg for at least 1 more month
