Little Cat Feet

Shaggy and his littermate brother Scooby came to live with us in October 2005, when they were 5 years old. Scout arrived in 2006 at the age of 6 weeks. Scooby passed over very suddenly to the Rainbow Bridge on April 1, 2012 and is remembered fondly and missed deeply.

Outdoor MamaKitty Zolie Keeps Warm


Now that the days are getting colder mom has been worried that our outside cat Zolie is keeping warm enough.
She moved into our garage last winter and managed to get into the insulation over the family room so she was plenty cozy. There must be a space where the garage butts up to the family room that she got through. She also had her kittens this spring up there, we could hear them mewing.
Mom was at Petco getting more of our Blue Buffalo foods and she spotted a circle bed with double thick sides and well padded bottom and she decided to get it for the top of the upright deep freezer we keep out there where Zolie likes to sit during the day.
A pleasant surprise when the $25 bed rang up at $4 on clearance!
She wasn't sure Zolie would go for it, but she curled up in right away. Even an outdoor feral deserves a little pampering now & then!

Aww, we're glad Zolie has your mom to pamper her. It would be a very tough life for her otherwise.

That bed sounds terrific--and the best part was the $4 price. LOL!

Well you don't get a better deal than that...and we bet Zolie is gonna be very warm and cozy this winter. It's a hard life outside and we bet Zolie appreciates everything your Mom does to make her life easier.

I find it amusing that Zolie totally accepted the bed right away and us pampered, non-feral kitties have to be convinced to use it when a new bed comes our way.

Happy day for Zolie! And even better that the bed was only $4. Your Mom is a special person for making sure that she is OK.

That is great that Zolie has a nice warm bed - there are also sites on the internet that show you how to make nice little warm shelters for outdoor kitties if you think she needs it a bit more cozy - they aren't too difficult and don't look like they would cost too much (I just can't actually tell you what sites they are). It is great that you are giving her a nice warm place to stay!!

Oh we are so glad Mamma Zolie will have a cozy spot that is just for her...new and fresh. Yes, even a feral deserves to have something of her own that is not a cast off. yeah for the price...the kitty gods are smiling.
How cool that we have the same pattern in our mommies bedrooms. That is a King size sheet on our bed so mommy can wash it up more often and with better ease than a huge spread...we have a feather bed under it for warmth....in this house the cats rule and it is all about their comfort...hey we deserve it!!!
Love ya guys...stay warm...soon the chill will set in
Love Miss Peach
