Dot, Sounds like you have a super good husband. Mine is too. He built me feral shelters for one of my feral colonies, and since we have so many cats at home he built me heated, thermostatically controlled sleeping boxes in our garage for the 3 outside cats. They have a cat flap into the garage, and they go into one of the three heated boxes thru a cat flap too. THey have a large window to look out of and a warm blanket inside their box as well as the heat. I use those ceramic reptile heaters that give out heat but no light. They screw in like a light bulb and give out heat but not light. They seem to last forever as I've used them 8 or 10 years now. They are expensive - about $20. each but are worth it and they won't break or shatter like a light bulb would, tho a light bulb can be used if you don't have the ceramic heater.
I think your cats will be okay with what you've prepared for them. Please let us know how they are when the storm passes. BTW, I mailed your check Saturday so you should get it early this week, if mail is delivered. Lorrie On 10-28, dot winkler wrote: > I am in Freehold, NJ. Inland So, you are in New York?

What experiences have you had with storms and the cats? _______________________________________________ Felvtalk mailing list Felvtalk@felineleukemia.org http://felineleukemia.org/mailman/listinfo/felvtalk_felineleukemia.org
