Blest Sunday in Winter

Meowllo everypawdy and a happy Blest Sunday. Sure hope yous enjoyed seein’ sissy play yesfurday. Mommy sez hers always luvs to see us hav a good time. Well as you know ow puter’s been duin’ lots of updatin’ and weez been duin’ a  lot of we-installin’ lately so weez not only got behind in Blogville, but we haven’t been on Facebook as much eever. We finally got da chance da udder day to visit wiff ow Facebook furiends and we had a message on sis Lexi’s page. Da message wuz askin’ us to share a posty/page, but da foto wuz horrific. Me had planned to make a winter posty alweady but when mommy saw da foto she knew we had to do it soon. After a lot of leaks fwum mommy’s eyes she closed da message and we didn’t share it. Dat dusn’t mean we won’t share yous pages or udders fur dat matter, but mommy likes to keep ow pages rated G. Mommy almost kuldn’t handle da foto, we fur sure wuldn’t want sum of ow younger followers to see dat.

Meez joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur a Selfie on Sunday.

Yes, we do agwee dat sumtimes and fur sum peeps “shock” and gore is da only fing dat makes them unnewstand. But we know we hav sum very caring and intelligent furiends dat not hav to be shocked and horrified. It’s winter and it’s cold outside. We fink most of you use common sense when it comes to yous pets and da gweat outdoors. But this posty isn’t ‘bout yous furries dat be curled up beside you now and stayin’ warm, it’s ‘bout all those furries dat not hav a home or warmff. It’s ‘bout all da ferals and abandoned furries. Twust me, they wuldn’t hav chosen to be out in this wedder. It wuz a hooman sumwhere along da way dat be wesponsible fur them bein’ outside. And now it be up to da hoomans to help take care of them. It makes us so sad and angwy to fink ‘bout all da furries havin’ to live outside, specially in sum aweas dat be pawfully cold.

So we fawt dat we wuld share a foo “winter tips” wiff you to make it better fur all. Purrlease member to knock on da hood of yous car afur you get in and turn it on. Kitties awe out there lookin’ fur warmff anywhere they can find it. Da foto we won’t be showin’ you all wuz da wesult of a kitty sleepin’ in da engine awea of a car dat wusn’t checked first. Ifin you hav ferals or abandoned animals in yous awea, purrlease help them ifin you can. Check and see ifin there’s a TNR purrogwam in yous awea and if so, contact them fur assistance. Fwesh dwinkin’ water and a bowl of food wuld be weally pureciated as prey gets even more scarce in da winter, and huntin’ becomes hawder. And each winter is da first one sum kitties be spendin’ out there.

 feral cat shelter instructions

There awe sevewal options fur purrvidin’ a warm shelter fur them to escape da elements. They can even be made fwum every cats favowit, a box. Tape it up and make a entwy a foo inches fwum da bottom and cover it wiff a heavy duty plastic twash bag. Tape dat up also and add straw or shwedded newspaper fur warmff and insulation. There awe so many udder options and even sum you can buy pwe made. Yous can add heat wiff wiff heatin’ pads, etc.. Be sure to keep them cleaned out and use fwesh beddin’ offen. Ifin at all pawssible place da shelter in an awea where it be purrtected fwum da elements but also away fwum twaffic so dat a skeered feral will use it. Be careful wiff da antifweeze too as it be toxic. These awe just a foo fings dat will help da outside kitties and yous winter go a little smoother.

We awe so glad we hav a furever home and a mommy hoo luvs us very much. A warm place to lay ow heads and full plates to fill ow bellies. And all of ow wunnewful furiends. Fank you all. We awe twuly blest.

Till da nex time………………………Be Blest!!!

  1. Those are great tips. If there were ferals near us, we would build one of those. I have snatched up every kitty that was ever left out here and they are all safe and warm in our home.

  2. Great tips sweet ones! Our ferals have a heated house and some of them do use it. They also have several options we’ve made to give them shelter from the cold. Have a super Sunday and hugs from all of us.

  3. We made one of those plastic tub shelters so now we have a heated cat house AND a plastic tub with a warm bed inside……we just can’t stand to think of cold kitties on their own when it’s SO DARN COLD! Happy Sunday!

  4. Dezi I understand..i sometimes do on my page when I think peeps really need to help with something…most times I don’t..i still have problems from the things I saw as a volunteer at a shelter..not from the shelters perspective as it was a no kill amazing place (which we board our our and kits at when we go away as it is so good) the things that made me stop volunteering as I was too distraught all the time…but the tips you have are just as helpful so bravo! loves Fozziemum xx

  5. I do sometimes share posts that I hate seeing only because some people just don’t understand what will happen and they need to know. But if I do share it is only on my wall not to another page. Most of the time when I see posts like that I end up crying. I hate to see them so I know how you feel. I do like to share the shelter ideas though and try to every chance I get. It is also something people need to know about. Thank you for posting them here too.
    I hope you all are staying nice and warm. Love you all so very much. Hugs and kisses all around.
