Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2006First Snow!
It got down to 33 last night and we woke up to a heavy wet snow. But there wasn't too much of it, thank goodness. By noon the sun was out and it was melting rapidly. But I knew it might freeze, so I had been out the evening before and cut several long branches of catnip. As soon as I brought them in, I had a VERY interested audience! I had to be quick about sticking the branches in a wire cage for drying; but Robin managed to snag a couple leaves anyway. Then I had to put the cage up high and then block the path to would-be jumpers. And it didn't freeze after all the snow didn't hurt anything. -- CATherine >It got down to 33 last night and we woke up to a heavy wet snow. But >there wasn't too much of it, thank goodness.

UGH It is calling for some snow mixed with rain here in Michigan towards the end of the week. I hope it holds off a bit because I still have a couple younger strays I am working on catching before winter really sets in. What is snow The only large amount of white stuff that comes around Florida gets your 20 to 30 years with bubba >What is snow > >The only large amount of white stuff that comes around Florida gets your 20 >to 30 years with bubba HEE HEE HEE Funny one. >>It got down to 33 last night and we woke up to a heavy wet snow.

I hope you do catch them before the weather gets too bad. Maybe a dusting fo snow might make them easier to catch and bring into a nice Warm place! :-) -- CATherine >>>It got down to 33 last night and we woke up to a heavy wet snow. But >>>there wasn't too much of it, thank goodness. By noon the sun was out [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >dusting fo snow might make them easier to catch and bring into a nice >Warm place! :-) I have been feeding them and they are living under an abandoned house so they have some protection from the elements plus they have each other. The worst part is that one of them has a collar on and it looks like it is starting to get tight. So hopefully I can get it friendly enough to cut it off if nothing else. The way they hang around that house makes a person wonder if someone moved and left them behind. I would use a live trap but the area of town it is in the trap most likely would not last there more then a couple hours and I do not live by there. I seen them while going to my daughter's. Be honest I do not even feel TOO safe being there myself!! >>>>It got down to 33 last night and we woke up to a heavy wet snow. But >>>>there wasn't too much of it, thank goodness.

Purrs and prayers that you rescue the cats very soon. Please let me know when you do catch them. That collar worries me. Stinky litterbox offerings to the abandoner! -- CATherine What a contrast ! Hear in Melbourne, Australia, the temperature was 36'6 C. This was a record, and there were bush fires all over the state It is only Spring, and bodes ill for the coming summer.

It reminds me of several years ago here. We got no spring rains and it was hot and dry and then the forest fires started. That summer was so hot and dry the hay didn't grow and just browned in the fields. >Same in Sydney - tomorrow is forecast to be 37C (near enough to 100F >for it not to matter) and it's still SPRING.

We get that every year here in Cali. Now we have chilly nights and hot afternoons. Very confusing. I always go out wearing a jacket in the morning, and curse myself for a fool in the afternoon! --tension >> I sure feel sorry for you. It reminds me of several years ago here. We >> got no spring rains and it was hot and dry and then the forest fires [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > --tension We always have fits with the kids this time of year. They have to have a jacket or sweatshirt in the morning, but then lose it about 9am. And being kids they insist its too cold to wear short sleeves and shirts. But in the spring that is what they will be wearing when its ten degrees colder. Jo > >> I sure feel sorry for you. It reminds me of several years ago here.

I remember 10 * Celsius in Canada, after a bitter winter, felt positively balmy!! --tension Huh. I guess all the cold and wet weather is on my side of the country. It has topped out at 16-17C here lately and just a couple of days ago we had nasty storms and lots of rain. Seems more like winter than spring over here.

I set by the hole they use to go under house with a can of food and when it got close enough to see what was up and if it was going to get food I slowly got it to let me scratch its head but it would not come out. Luckily the end of the collar was long enough so I could grab it and hold and pull the baby close enough so I got get at it with a pair of scissors and cut it off. It's neck looked ok but I think I scared him doing that because now it is reluctant to get close enough where I can not get him. Now I will keep feeding and talking to it until I get it's trust and can nab him and get it off the streets. The only good thing is that they have a place where they can get out of the elements when it gets nasty!! >>>>>UGH >>>>> [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] >they have a place where they can get out of the elements when it gets >nasty!! Sorry I didn't answer sooner. My server has been down for a few days. But I am so glad you got that collar off. Now I will be waiting to hear when you gain the kittens' trust and can rescue them. Purrs, -- CATherine There was an orange and white one as well as the tiger one with the collar. I would say they were both about 1 year old. I have not seen the orange and white one the last couple days. Hopefully it is just staying under the house since I have been putting food under there. I did see the tiger one where my ex lives (About half a block from where they are) and where I keep wet and dry food put out in several places out of the elements for a couple adult strays I have never been able to get as well as the neighbors cats that learned it is there. Request purrs that I can catch them before it gets too bad!!! >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> they have a place where they can get out of the elements when it gets >> nasty!! I CAUGHT THE TIGER KITTEN TODAY !!! Sorry for shouting but I am just very glad that I caught at least one of them. SHE went to shelter and hopefully will find a good home. The person there said SHE was about 1 year old. She was very friendly and I hope will end up in a good home. I am just so glad to get her off the streets. Also I seen the orange and white one and now hopefully will be able to work at getting that one. Prayers and purrs that the one I got with end up with a good family AND that I am able to get the orange and white one. I hope the poor thing makes it ok without it's buddy!! :-) >There was an orange and white one as well as the tiger one with the >collar. I would say they were both about 1 year old.

An abundance of purrs and prayers being sent for you and the cats. I really do hope that you capture the orange and white cat and that both find excellent permanent homes.
