a tail of two tabbies

Here are our two pretty tabby cats - Missy in the penthouse suite and Lucy looking up at her.  Missy had been spending more time downstairs with us since we got this basket/house - she usually lies in the lower level and I think that makes her feel secure - she's always wary of the other cats.

Weather has been COLD!!!  It was minus 27 last nite - very cold, indeed. And if you've been following my blog, you will remember I mentioned a stray cat that Kris was taking care of at his work. She just hangs out at the shop, sleeping under an old bus and Kris feeds her.   Well, last nite, we decided she couldn't be left out in this cold - so.....you can probably guess where this is going....we sent Kris down to bring her home.  sigh

For now we have set her up with a nice bed/box in the garage with a heat lamp over top which does a great job of keeping her little area very warm and let's her sort of settle in - the other cats freak her out and vice versa - so we'll take baby steps.  At least she's warm and dry and appears to be quite content.  We're in and out of the garage all the time, so she's got company too.

Meanwhile, we continue to try to find a home for her - she is an older cat, I'm sure - I'd say 5 or 6 years old - obviously someone's pet at one time - she immediately used the litter box, so she's house trained.  Very friendly! 

Tonite is supposed to be a bit warmer and then getting cold for about a week - brrrrrrr.
