HOLY MOLEY...it's cold

A big frost on the pumpkin this morning. My cat Charlie, who loves to go outside during the day, couldn't wait to go outside this morning, so I went out to get the paper and out he went. I looked out about 5 minutes later and he was sitting all hunkered down on one of my stepping stones. I opened the door and he dashed inside in a hurry...his little pads on his feet were cold. I have another outside cat who never comes in, but has a heating pad in his bed that stays on during the winter. Poor animals that have to stay outside should be given every measure to keep them warn.
