It just dawned on me that my neighbor has a cat. I called and said, "Merry Christmas... could I borrow a cup of...cat food?" Bob brought it over in his tractor and also plowed out our driveway too. He's such a nice neighbor! So anyway, I have enough cat food for about 3 days. Then I can buy some more. I know dogs can lose their scent in snow, but I don't know about cats. I hope he can find his way home, or I will end up with a cat again. I love all animals, but am very allergic to cats. Have a wonderful Christmas. Betsy PS I took out a cardboard box and place it on its side by our frontdoor and put a thick towel inside and a couple more towles to cover the top and sides. I place two dishes beside it, for food and water. He should be safer now from the lousy weather., although he still trys to come inside when I open the door) :) ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
