Putting a cover, or flap, over the doorway of your shelter will help keep cold air out and warm air in. A piece of heavy vinyl or rubber, like a car's floor mat, will work. The material has to be thick enough to provide some insulation but light enough for the cats to easily pull or push it open.
How do I keep my outside cat warm?
Insulate the shelter with straw, not hay. Mylar blankets cut to size can also help cats retain warmth. Avoid using conventional fabric blankets or towels, which absorb moisture and can make the interior cold. Placing the shelter on a pallet or other surface to raise it off the ground can also help to insulate it.Jan 11, 2016

How do you unclog an Esophagostomy tube?
Clear the tube by squirting 6 cc of tepid water through it to be sure it is not clogged. Next hook up the food syringe and slowly deliver the food to the patient. It is tempting to just blast it all in there but, for patient comfort, try to take several minutes or so and take your time.Jul 9, 2020
How long can a cat have an e tube?
It is passed through the nasal cavity into the back of the throat and down into the esophagus until it reaches about the level of the ninth rib. The tube is then attached to your cat's head by stitches or surgical glue. "These tubes can generally be left in place for five days."
