Snowdon and Dot did NOT run away when I brought out the food, this morning

They usually take off into other yards but this morning they both stayed close to the deck. I was surprised how close I could get to them. I also noticed the same thing with Tabby (Dylan's mom). Snowdon spent quite a bit of time on the deck, watching us watch him through the living room window.

The little girls are doing great. Since it's going to be warm, today, I kind of expect they will be out and about. Well, after I finish mowing the lawn.

I'm thinking about getting an indoor Blink camera for the enclosed back porch. My plan is to keep the screen door window/screen raised just enough for them to slip through so that they can use it to shelter, this Winter. I'll get a couple more litter boxes and during really cold weather I can put a hot oil heater on a timer to give them a nice, warm area by the beds.

But I don't spoil them.

The last few Winters haven't been too bad so maybe we are due some heavy weather.

The ad says it would stay warm all night. It is marketed for dogs, but the cats won't mind.
