Tiger still alive and well! at 3 AM, 6 degrees , minus 11, with the windchill.
I looked up and he was on the step with his head in his little house, eating the food I left in there last night. it must’ve been frozen solid, but I got him two more cans of fancy feast on his plate,he stepped back a couple of steps, but came right back up and ate eagerly. How’s everybody else’s pets doing in this weather?

She wasn't feral, but I couldn't get that close after what she'd been through, turned out she was a spayed female. But when it got cold, I couldn't leave her out there. So I was finally advised to borrow a have-a-heart trap from the animal hospital and use something like tuna fish that has a strong odor to catch her. She needed some vet care, but finally got used to being inside, I got her one of those little cat houses if she felt like hiding - but she got so she enjoyed sitting in the window and watching the birds outside... 
Mikey's mom, he's there for the season, and inquired about her remaining horse. I wanted to tell her about that notice regarding contaminated alfalfa, just in case. Our state wasn't on the list of sales and I think she buys locally in the fall and summer. She said she brought the grain in the house and heats it before taking it out to the horse.
Mikey is doing okay, he knows better than to go out in this cold. I miss him but I feel better knowing he's doing well with his original human than to have him here in my cramped space. He gets love at both places, I just spoil him more.
Glad you are caring for that kitty, glad he's holding up, so far. There's a big wind pushing that cold air mass eastward pretty quickly. It was already +31F last night when I went to bed and it's +35F at 4:30am. So it clears off pretty fast when it does move on.
Be safe, stay warm!
Seemed completely unconcerned with the cold & severe wind chills.
He'd eat, then sit down in driveway and just look around a bit, then disappear to wherever he shelters.
I don't think he is using ghe shelter I borrowed from the rescue because he came from somewhere across the street.
So glad to hear Tiger is doing well!
My Pittie has no concern for snow of cold. We just came in from his morning outing to do his business.
one was hard to convince.
My neighbor and I tricked him and had to try to cage him twice. The first time he wriggled away and took off. But he still came around for the food until we could contain him again off to the vet and into a spare room here in my old cabin.
the other was easy, a little scared baby that was crying outside on top of my wood fence. I just scooped her up and repeated the drill. All are safe and warm and spoiled now.
They joined the inside pack and now the inn is full.
He's had his breakfast and has gone off to do cat things, now that it's warmed up a bit. He has a porch chair with a heating pad, which he prefers to the heated hut I got for him; he won't go in it, except to stick his head in for the bits of kibble I put in it to lure him into it. He likes the chair, even though it doesn't protect him from the wind, maybe because he can more easily survey his domain from that vantage point. He just curls up in a ball and that seems to be enough for him. It's been ridiculously windy for the last few days, with wind chill around -30. Maybe his fur is enough to keep him from feeling the wind. I've put up patio curtains to keep the snow off the porch as much as possible, and he has heated water and food bowls. So my porch is his "home," where he has been living since about March of 2021. He always goes out in the evening to do whatever cats do, no matter how bad the weather is, and I worry about him until he turns up the following morning, sitting on his throne and waiting for breakfast.
I went to dinner last night at my brother’s and I didn’t see Tiger yesterday, I think he came up to eat a few bites, the food was frozen solid, hope he shows up this evening. Patches, the cat that lives with me now inside, lived at least eight months under the chair on my porch. When my old kitty passed on I brought Patches in and took him to the vet, is so now he’s an indoor kitty. Have a good day
