Tonight's project is keeping the outside kitties from freezing to death. To wit, accomplished: fed high-fat diet (my beloved Vienna Sausages), stuffed 5 pounds of rice into a tube-sock (no, I didn't think it would fit, either) and microwaved into long-lasting heatsource, stuffed under (temporary) shelter constructed of 1) folding chair and 2) blankies.

We also let the little buggers into the bathroom for twenty minutes each to warm 'em up and feed 'em. I'm in the process of designing a "cat house" (no sniggering in the back, it's only legal in Vegas!), that will keep them a) warm in sub-freezing temps and 2) cool in the *!@&%# hot summer.

At least the wife's occupied <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> She goes slightly stir-crazy when stuck in the house for days.
