Well as the weatherman promised - it`s bloody cold out!!! And supposed to stay that way for a few days too. I`m pretty well avoiding going out if I don`t have to. Rick went out and showed a farm in Eganville this afternoon - I enjoyed the afternoon at home. Pellet stove is working very well.
As mentioned in a previous post, we have picked up (so to speak) another stray cat - the one that Kris had been feeding down at the shop, moved into our garage on Thursday night. We set up a nice heat lamp pointed down on a box for her to sleep in and she did quite well there.
But yesterday she went outside for a while and then left for parts unknown. Rick and Kris did several walk-abouts through the bush, but no sign of her. We thought maybe she went back to the shop. However, Kris checked the shop around 11 last nite - no cat.
So, we were all very concerned but not much to be done - we went to bed leaving the garage open and the heat lamp on. Kris however, didn`t go to bed, he suited up and went for midnight walk-about through the bush - and found her. He said she ran right to him - like she was just waiting for him to come and get her.
This morning, Rick and I decided to bring her inside (this is how it happens, you know......) So, she`s now even MORE comfortable in the laundry room off the kitchen. And even though we leave the door open to the rest of the house - she seems quite content to stay in there. She`s pretty cautious around the other cats - as they are around her. But so far no fireworks.
We`ll keep her until we can find her a good home.....I guess....she`s not going back to the shop.
She`s very quiet and sweet and friendly - I think she would suit a house with no other cats (we don`t exactly qualify) So we`ll keep trying to find her a place.
