Cold weather and pets
I have just been reading about the upcoming cold weather, and the BBC website links to the Blue Cross for some tips for the cold weather. I am sure this is all common knowledge to most of you, but I thought I would share the links anyway.

Protect Your Pets During Icy Spell Winter Survival Guide. My cats haven't been out much in this weather, just out to the toilet and back in again. I have a litter tray but they haven't used it since the fireworks were around back in November. I hope the cold spell doesn't go on for too much longer, it's unpleasant for all of us, humans and animals, though I hear snow is now on the way tonight. |

if it does snow and gets trodden down on the pavements, once it begins to thaw and refreeze - forming that awful jagged sheet-ice stuff, be careful about letting dogs run on it - we ended up with a rather high vet bill the other boxing day to have our dogs paw stapled up after managing to cut it on some of this

My outdoor cats have always slept in the conservatory, and they prefer it to the house. They have a heater in there, but yesterday I went one further and arranged their baskets next to the heater, so they've got their own little fire pit! They're well pleased, and much cosier.
