38. Our animals, dog and cats, go in and out whenever they please, through the doggie door.

Always did as long as I remember and all lived long, healthy lives.

Across the street from us now, there are Barn cats. They adjust to the temperatures they live in, would probably die of suffocation if we brought them inside.

However this was such a bad winter, I wondered if they could survive it, sometimes -17. We fed them all winter, made sure to give them fresh water every day, they live in the barn which was exceptionally cold this winter. All survived beautifully, one pregnant mom appears to have delivered her babies, she was gone for a few days, now she's back and she looks great.

We have always fed feral cats if we know about them. But they are amazingly resilient so long as they are not used to living with humans.

And yes, there are coyotes and other predators, but the Barn cats seem to know how to avoid them.

If a cat has never been outside, it has lost it's survival instincts for the most part and probably would not survive as the Barn cats have.
