Boy is it cold today! Wind chill in the minus numbers! Why do people let their pets out on days like these? There is this little black cat...I know she belongs to someone...we call her FuzzFace since we don't know her real name. She shows up daily for a free meal...not scraggly...looks oooold...meows very loudly, almost demandingly. On cold mornings she shows up well after the sun is up...warmer days much earlier...and then she will go away for sometimes a month or more an we won't see hide nor hair of her. On these cold mornings I have been taking her inside to feed her. One, the food freezes really fast if put outside and Two, I want her to warm up. She is used to people because while she is leery of being in a strange house she does not put up a fight when picked up and plopped in the house. She even explores a little. After eating and exploring a little she wants out and off she goes to who knows where. I let her go because I want her to continue to trust me. Breaks my heart tho when I see any animal out in this cold. I'd like to make the owner stay out for a few hours.
OK,OK, I am now climbing down off my soapbox.
