I'm worried

[Medusa]

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!

Liz, I so hope they found shelter, and are being fed by someone else. Glad to hear one of them showed up. Hopefully nothing happened to the other one.

If it's freezing outside, put a tiny bit of salt in their water, then it won't freeze.

Thanks for looking out for these kitties, I hope they're safe!

When we had the strays in Bridgewater, before I put the food out in the shelter that we fixed up for them, I would microwave the food so it would be warm for awhile. Then if they did not should up, I would renuke the food!!! I hope they are in a safe place out of the weather! You are doing a good thing!

Randi, thanks for the tip with the water. I'll do that.

Still no sign of the big guy. I walked around the house to make sure he
wasn't laying somewhere hurt, but there was no sign of him. I'll just keep
checking every once in awhile.
