Weather anxieties
I'm worried about my outdoor feral, Muffin. It's getting frigid and cold, with more ridiculous sub zero weather heading our way for at least the next week. He seems to me to be stressed and skittish and cold. He doesn't have URI symptoms and I don't see any injuries, but he seems off. He does have a pet house that he hunkers down into on my porch and he is well-fed. Do any of your ferals get skittish, seem to slow down, and appear stressed in this weather? He is at least 5 years old now, and not as energetic as he used to be. He will not come inside my house, and I've been unable to trap him since he's trap savvy, and I'm too scared to just grab him with a blanket because my previous attempts have been unsuccessful and I don't want to scare him away. I hope he's just in a semi-hibernation state.
I send out prayers for all of our feral friends to survive the next two weeks of winter.
