In the desert it gets very cold at night-- and there are legions of stray wild cats prowling around keeping the perimeter secure. With a small bit of my surfeit of junk I shall construct this comfortable winter hutch:
 | 1. Laundry bin set into hole dug well past the frost line (in New Mexico it's only 6"-9"), small holes punched in bottom as drain/vent, gravel inside along with some old t-shirts.
2. Unitary foam packing element wrapped in plastic shopping bags (leaving one slot open for egress) wedged into mouth of bin.
3. Metal rods plunged thru the foam rest on bin lip as supports. Weatherproof tape lattice to secure the top structure.
4. Bricks around the bin act as steps.

5. Layer of black plastic sheeting secured with weatherproof tape (yer basic passive solar...) |  |
Accommodates at least 6 vicious cats. |
