Need To Keep The Cat Warm

Yeah, you are right, if the house is small, her body heat will likely be enough and if it gets really cold, just bring her in!

I don't know much about cats, but Rick grilled some pork chops this evening so I took out the bone in mine and gave it to the cat. She was so happy!!! I could darn near see her wag her tail...lolol. We sure are getting a big kick out of her.

Cover the house with a thick cover.

Say what??? She is an outside cat...will she get the scoots? Did I do a bad thing?

Since she's an outside cat, she most likely eats LOTS of things so I don't think she'll get the scoots. LOL! Cats eat birds, mice rats, etc etc. I don't think she'll get the scoots from a cooked pork bone!!!

Your cat should be fine. We had outdoor cats and we always just let them fend for themselves as far as a place to sleep and keep warm. They're pretty tough animals.

I think that Jessi meant to cover the cat house with something to help keep in the warmth. We always covered our dog house in hay to help keep the dogs warm......actually when it's really bad the outdoor dogs sleep in the garage.

I think the house will be warm enough, especially if you put a warm cover over it. If it's really freezing, Ricky can put her in his room in a crate with her litter.

They are very hardy little buggers! I would worry too though. You're an animal lover! Can't blame you for not wanting her in the house though. I would keep a cat if I could let it be an outside cat. We have coyotes somewhere on the mountain though, so I won't do it.

I also would not want a heater near her house, because of the fire hazard.

Lol, yes that's exactly what I meant. Sorry, I need to learn to write everything I'm thinking. English is my worst subject.
