It is sooooo cold here. We put Magic in a boarding facility a week and a half ago even though we really can't afford it. He got a urinary tract infection, so now he's boarding at the Vet, but we've got three other kittens outside to worry about (ranging in age from 7 - 9 months old).
Thanksgiving and Tuxedo look fat and healthy, but every time we go outside to feed the cats (we leave dry out there, take heated wet food to them twice a day, and give them warmed up cat's milk at least once a day) we don't see Julius eat. He just wants pets. I hold him as long as I can, but when I put him back down, he doesn't run over to the food to eat, eat just rubs up against our legs (making it difficult to walk!) until we slip inside. This has been going on for several days, and he's probably eating once we're inside, but there's just no way to know. And he's not fat like Thanksgiving and Tuxedo are. If we could afford it, I'd board him, but we just don't have the money.
We're still on the wait list for the no-kill shelter, but that isn't helping him stay warm!!!
Please send "be warm and EAT" thoughts to Juli! With a high of twelve degrees here today, and lows each night for the past few nights BELOW ZERO, he MUST eat to replace those calories he's burning trying to stay warm!
Here's my orange (ginger really) Julius:
