ASPCA Winter Cat Care and Safety Tips

Excellent tips!

Tell ya what, Ferrel cats in a barn love those super dooper DRY blankets that volunteers bring in for them when they come on in with fresh water daily and hay and dry food AND you can ask the HSUS and Peta and many other organizations as to where to donate those old blankets you do not want anymore for the ferrel cats to curl up into for these cold winter months ahead. Pasado in Washington State can always use those blankets for their ferrel areas and so can the place in Utah for their cat refuge. It is not "normal " for a domestic to be kept outside during the winter months and stormy days, no matter where you live at without giving the animal some sort of shelter. Even the alaskan husky in Alaska has some sort of hut to sleep in and he has fur to show for his efforts as a snow dog too. HOWEVER, we are talking cats here, CATS! Cats really, REALLY need shelter, from rain, snow, temperatures that kill humans, normal dogs, I mean logically a cat is a predator who loves warm blankets and a bowl of tuna now and than without the drama of snow on its nose and high winds on its tail, right. Lovingly said, cats are sweet , purring babes who absolutely need to be treated better than many people have decided to by throwing them out side everytime a furball gets yakked out.SO, buck up and give the cat a place on the couch by the fireplace. I have yet, to throw a human being out of my place for throwing up, [ should have ] a cat deserves a warm spot in my house always. Humans deserve a gerbil wheel.[ humph ] :)
