Meowmie spotted some new kitty tracks in the snow outside the garage yesterday morning so Paw put out some extra dishes of kitty food and some more boxes with insulation. He didn't set any traps because he didn't want to have to worry about anykitty freezing - we have been under a wind chill warning for the last couple of days. Still no reports of sightings, but the humans are still walking around looking and calling, even when it's way too cold out. We're purring especially hard today for Tabitha and all the other kitties in the Out. It's -20 here now, and the wind chill is supposed to be between -25 and -40 all day. Amelia |

It's just brutally cold in the upper Midwest this week; I live north of Dan, so it's a bit colder here. This morning it was -22F, which is -30C, where I live. I just hate to think of Tabitha being out in this horribly cold weather. Or any cat, for that matter. There are so many 'stray' cats, many of whom were abandoned by people who lost their homes, due to foreclosure. Unlike true feral cats, (many of whom may very well die in this terribly cold weather) abandoned pets don't have any survival skills. They are almost totally dependant on people for shelter and food. Many have no hunting skills, since those are taught by the mama cat. If the mama cat isn't a good hunter, and doesn't teach her kittens how to hunt for food, they will never be a good hunter. Purrs for Tabitha to be found, and for all the other poor kitties who are hungry and cold. Gandalf ----just a lurker here. |

For the last few days I've been putting out extra food dishes and extra shelter boxes, and I have not been setting the trap. I've been seeing new tracks into the garage, and I REALLY want to get Tabitha in the trap, but with weather so cold I don't dare set the trap. It wouldn't take more than a few minutes locked into a cold metal enclosure for a kitty to suffer harm, so I'm going to wait for the weather to warm up a bit before I start setting the trap again.

Any nooz 'bowt Tabitha?
We are still in hopes bad Tabitha will show up. Understand why you are not
setting the trap. I have the four neighborhood cats who come here when it storms or is bad out. Were six but someone moved away. I don't mind keeping them in the night, but I hate that their owners don't do anything about the caring for them in this weather. "Dan M" wrote in message ...

I feel awful that Tabitha slipped out, but I at least am doing something about it. There are cats in the neighborhood that are still out loose in spite of overnight wind chills of 40 below (funny - -40 F is also -40 C). I don't see them about, but I see their tracks in the snow and the food I put out is getting eaten. |

I don't see them about, but I see their tracks in the snow and the food I put out is getting eaten. Yes, it's not the best time fur them. But they are good at finding shelter of some sort. Some insulated boxes can help: nice little warm nests out of the wind. Dan, when you get weather suitable to set the live trap again, you might want to try wrapping it in blankets and lining the bottom as you are able, (without hindering the functioning of the trap), so Tabitha or anyone caught will be somewhat comfortable, till you can get to them. This can sometime be used to disguise the trap for cats that are familiar with them, and might otherwise avoid it. Just an idea. -- Peace, Fred (Remove FFFf from my email address to reply by email). |
