Yes, I still have a large heating pad in the shed out of the elements, and they probably go out there but not all at once. I never see one of them come out of there, so I just have to hope that they are using everything I’ve given them to stay as warm as possible. Luckily, there still is practically no wind.

There is no room in that shed for boxes. Hubby has it crammed full of garden stuff. These cats love boxes, too. At times.

Good that it’s still open for them to use. they know it’s there so if they don’t use it, no one to blame but themselves.
Great that the wind isn’t blowing. That makes the cold so much worse. There’s just a kiss of a breeze here and I hope it stays that way.

ALL kitties love boxes. I have too many to put out a box for each of them though. I wouldn’t be able to move around the house! LOL

That would sure be a sight to see, though. 20+ kitties in boxes, scattered across the floors. LOL! They’d probably all fight over one box. That’s how cats roll.

I hope the wind stays down for you. That plus snow plus all that cold would be just waaaay too much!

I think I’m going to finish this show and go to sleep. This morning is catching up with me. See ya tomorrow!

It’s a sight I would NOT want to see - - or live with. I’d trip and break bones with that many boxes in the house. Besides, it’s more entertaining to watch them vie for a turn in the box or two I set out. LOL

I have a feeling the wind will pick up some when the front passes by. They’ve kept talking all week about wind chills being well below zero. Just have to wait and see what happens.

Sleep well and sleep late! Catch ya tomorrow.

CHOSIN RESERVOIR: Hand-to-Hand Combat in the MOST BRUTAL Fight of Korea | Marine Pat Finn - American Veterans Center

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waBL6G-U-bQ

Patrick Finn lied about his age and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps Reserve at 15 years old. He served until he was 18 years old and was ready to return to civilian life, when a sudden change of heart prompted him to re-enlist. The following year he found himself in one of the fiercest battles of the Korean War - the Battle of Chosin Reservoir.

Good Morning Kathy! ((Hugs)) - yeah, trying to stay warm, have to bring in the humming bird feeders at night since they turn into a popcicle overnight. OTT, temps in the teens, single overnight. I really feel for those folks in the mid-west with those subzero temps and windchill. Yuck.
