Tnx for all the ideas, except the one about eating the cat. I suspect
now, as some have said, that it probably is not necessary to provide
heat. A good enclosure, insulated in some way, will be good enough.
As one person said, they are used to living outdoors and even some
heat may be too much. So this year I think it will be only an
insulated enclosure. And we had hail this afternoon so old man winter
can't be far away.
Tnx all,
Ken, makin dust in NS
Well I didn't really expect you to eat the cat. I suggested the reptile
heater to make up for it which was a very good idea. By the way, if I hadn't
mentioned cooking the darn thing, Joat might not have posted that hilarious
cat cooking link.

No, there is no other cats around here you know of/see. It there's
one, there's more.

Get over it. Be responsible! Cat overpopulation doesn't do anyone
any good, the cats, the other critters, etc.

I don't believe that neutering males serves to keep the population
under control. When a female comes into heat, some male will find
her.
That's different if the cats are confined of course.

We had a nblack and white cat that could hide from NOTHING and didn't
try. I saw German Shepards walk by and keep an eye on him in case he
(cat) got mad or angry. That was one tough cat.

Thats a great idea except I don't want to be the one to catch him and
put him in the car. He is very friendly when he is on the porch. As
soon as you are anywhere else ie in the garage or out in the yard he
will not come near you. I have seen coyotes and foxes in our back yard
and I suspect he is VERY nervous. I'm actually surprised he has lasted
this long. There is no other cats around here so taking away some of
his parts is not really necessary and besides as a fellow male I'm
somewhat uncomfortable with this.

PS He adopted us!
