Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi Angie, I have a suggestion for keeping the poor stray cat warm , We used to run an extention cord out to the dog house in the garage, and put a light bulb in there. I f you could fashion something like that in the `cat cave' ,maybe it would help. Just a suggestion. wrote: and Trudy, The past 2 nights it has been -11 or better here with the wind chill. It's sooo cold the furnace can't keep up poor thing. The house is actually warm till a good stiff wind comes up and then the furnace is back on kicking the cold out. And of course the other day my family was adopted by a stray cat. She is a perfectly loving cat with loads of love to pass out. I can't bring her in the house due to her not liking my dogs and vice versa. I managed to make a bed against the wall to my kitchen in the garage for her but am still worried about her with the wind chills. My husband thinks I'm nuts because I have tried making a cat cave for her to crawl in. I took a wire coat hanger and pinned a towel around it, inserted some cotten batting, and shaped it. She the cat thinks I'm alittle nuts too as she wouldn't go in it for about 3 hours. She is somewhat wild too as she is afraid of everything yet wants it all. She freaks out over the car comming in and out of the garage and over the doors opening and closing. I just hope she makes it through the winter. Well time for the boys to get up so, I'm outta here. Have a good day.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Angie, you are not nuts. I would do the same for the cat. Years ago we had a cat who we thought was coming and going through out back yard. Well, she wasn't. She was living here. She had a whole bunch of kittens between the fence and our garage. Five of them. So we took care of them and fed them. She would only allow myself and my mom-in-law near her, but would always warn off her children whenever we were coming near. When the kittens were big enough to tend for themselves she left and I only saw her a few times more. She would come into our yard now and then and wait for me to pet her eventhough she was a wild cat. We couldn't take the cats in, my hubby can handle one cat with his allergies (he can't touch the cat), but with more than one his allergies go nuts. So, we tried everything possible to make them comfortable during the 1995 snowy winter. Two of them were adopted by friends, and boy did we have a hard time catching the little guys - they were still wild, but adjusted to their new homes very well. The other three moved over across the street to my kids adoptive grandparents. This gentleman just has a way with animals. Everything comes to him and he still has the cats. I think a person who is sensitive to an animals well being is a kind hearted person. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You are not nuts. Mojo re:BRRRRRRRR!!!!
