i'm super happy you at least bought him a blankie - little dummy needs to snuggle up in it.
How many of you have a pet that lives outside your home?

I know, right. I love my kitties.
I got 3 cats that call my side yard home. Two sleep in the lounge chairs under the gazebo and the third one - get this - sleeps on TOP of the gazebo. Climbs up the tree beside it every night and jumps on the top to curl up. They won't let me pet them but have been out here for about 2 years.
Okay, now I get the reference to a heating blanket in the other thread. I thought you were joking.
No, don't put a heating blanket out for it, it could actually get overheated and dehydrated. As long as a cat has a secure place out of the wind that is up off the floor where it can hunker down, sufficient food and water, it'll be fine. Their coats grow thicker in the winter and they gain a couple of extra pounds. They sleep the winter away. Cats are smart enough to burrow under blankets if they're really cold. My barn cats did just fine making nests in the loose hay in the winter in a drafty barn, and I'm near Philly.
A closed garage rarely goes much below freezing, believe it or not, unless you're living in the Arctic.

MM is right, just leave it a huge bundle of sheets or quilts for it to burrow under ,they know when winter is comming, heck my outside cat has loaded up on food and is fat as hell ,this helps him keep warm during the cold months, he looses it in the summer ,then the process repeats itself all over again, just get it off the cold floor, cold air settles.
lol too late now, last night i forced him to sit in the blanket for a few minutes...now he's hooked.
and he's got plenty of water and the temp is set to low.
teh kitteh is bawlin'
Jesus H. Christ, you're the one putting out a freaking heating pad for the damned thing but I'm the one who gets called the crazy cat lady.
