2. Wrap the box and lid separately with old cloth (otherwise the box will be scratched by the cat quickly). Remember to fix the lining cloth. The lining of the lid is easy to wrap, but the lining of the box is more difficult. Some people use thread to sew it, while others use wooden strips and other objects to squeeze it on each side of the lower layer, as long as it does not fall off.   



3. After wrapping the lining cloth, cover the lid tightly. Seal with non-stick tape on all sides. It is best to wrap the surface of the box with plastic to prevent water leakage.

Some people also keep waterproof changing pads, so you might as well take them out and clean them from time to time. You can also use an old quilt to make a sleeping bag. Use iron wire to form a square port at the end. Place the bag in a box. Separately tie one corner of the sleeping bag with two ropes, then pull it out from the hole in the box and wrap it around the surface of the box a few times to secure it.  



5. For safety reasons, it is best to find a hidden place to put the box. It is because there are trees and walls under the sunny wall. Firstly, it prevents people from stealing.

There should be something heavy on top of the box, preferably a board. Note that it is best to face the sun at the entrance of the cave to avoid the wind.
