It was 4 degrees outside but all the outside cats appeared to be in good shape despite near zero temps overnight. I laid out a good breakfast of Friskies, tuna and sardines in a warm stew and some steaming fresh drinking water. And a load of kibble. All the regulars from out back were here and so were Nasty Mom and Sad Face. Cats that can lay up in a garage dry and out of the wind in good bedding can easily stay well in cold weather. Good warm food that is available several times a day keeps them plump and living well. I feel for them though but no outside cat will ever miss a decent meal or lack shelter while I'm still upright.

goin' to heaven with a big bankroll'
