The cat condos have been out on the deck for a few years now. They are well insulated and have a padded cat bed on the floor that we augment with piles of straw but ever since the large cat beds and the large cut cardboard boxes set up with comforters in the garage got installed along with the "cat flap" on the side door I figured the cats would give up the cat condos. I was wrong.

A few days ago while I was gumming my lunch at the kitchen table (my teeth were upstairs in a glass of beer) I had a clear view of the deck and backyard. I saw Bosco come out of a cat condo. He stretched and yawned and right behind him from the same condo came Catty Patty. They had been napping after the good breakfast they were served. Out of a different condo shortly thereafter Sad Face emerged from a snooze and walked off to wherever he hangs out. The cats do use the cat condos.

On "balmy" days "they snooze" in their "outdoor" cribs.

Come freezing temps...inside they go !
