55 degrees not cold enough for cats?
We had 55 deg tonight. I had to shut the windows in the bedroom.
However, my cat kept sneaking to her beloved porch. I brought her in twice thinking she might get cold, but she sneaked out each time. Finally, I put a light throw on her, but she escaped that too. Avoiding all of the bedding I have arraned for her, she slept on the bare wooden floor of our open porch (it has a roof, but open sides). So I guess 55 degrees is no big deal for a cat? |

My cat goes out when it 20 degrees and lays on top of the cat house during the day. He does not like snow. Don't tell me to keep the cat in. He is part stray Greg Ro |

Stop trying to control your cat, she knows best when she's cold or hot or hungry, or bored, etc. |

In the end it will be up to her to use it or not or when. At my granparents' farm (climate: hot summers and cold, snowy winters) there was a rule: no animals allowed inside. And all animals (dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, horses, etc) did just fine without being pampered and fussed over. |

There was a huge Tom that lived outdoors in a trailer park where we lived in Alaska. He would sleep under warm cars or sneak under trailers at night. Scavenged food from the dumpsters. Big and orange and would not let a human near him. Next spring every kitten born for miles around looked just like him. Jo |

Jo This reminds me of a cat i used to see around in my neighborhood when i lived in fredericton. There was this huge black and white lonhair that apparently had been abandoned a few yrs previous. He slept outside all the time, but would climb into the window wells when it was really cold. We used to put food and blankets in the window well of our basement for him. He seemed to have one constant girlfriend though, and her stupid owners let her have at least three litters that i know of, every one of them fathered by him, the kittens were adorable. Kristy |
