I'm worried

[Cinder & Smoke]

I have two male strays that come by every afternoon for feeding.

... They did not come tonight.

There is a big snow storm moving into our area this evening ...

"The Boys" might have decided to skip supper in favor of finding a warm spot to hunker down in.

Prayers said for "The Boys" having a warm and safe night.

If they are anything like the strays I am feeding, they have many folks looking out for them. I don't know who the other people are, but I KNOW I don't give them enough for them to be so 'plump!'

With a storm coming, everyone who feeds tends to put out extra. So maybe they just got full! Now isn't that a nice thought? I know sometimes mine don't show up and I think that is what happened. (other times I never figure out WHY they didn't show up the night they skipped.)

Even when they aren't 'ours,' they can work their way into our hearts! Sigh.

I hope they were just looking for a nice warm place to shelter. I will certainly be sending them good vibes. I know how much I worried about mine when they were outside.

I concur w/everyone. They probably hunkered down and when they get hungry enough, they'll be back. Plus as someone mentioned, they probably go to several houses and get fed. I'm sure they're fine.

Well they never did show up last night. I kept checking for them until
11pm. The youngest cat (approx 1yr) came this morning but still no sign
of the older cat. Last time he went missing he came back with a torn ear.

I hope they do have someone else that helps feed them too.I wouldn't
be so concerned about them. They both seem starved & eager to eat,
but maybe they need more food to help them stay warm. I keep checking
on them today. Thanks for all good thoughts for them.

When I was feeding so many outdoor cats, I mixed dry w/canned food and gave them warm cream, too. Many PTers would disagree w/me on giving them cream because some cats are lactose intolerant, I guess but mine aren't and I've never had any problems in that regard. It puts fat on them and keeps them warm in winter and it warms their bones, too. Try not to worry.

Glad that at least one is there. I hope the other one shows up as well. I am sure however that they know where to hide in a weather like this!
