Well, I checked the college experts and the eggheads claim my job earnings are actually $2 above living wages needed in my area.
They cannot take into account the precious gem which is my cat Nunu. About once or twice a year a large payment is made towards keeping the miracle alive. I got no mo $.

Ambassador Cat & Orange Cat are hibernated. They chose to stay in the plastic cat house with thin walls. I put the heat mat in there. Its mostly single digit temps in the weeks forecast. Even if the heat malfunctions there are two insulated cat houses at the spot available. Frequent safety checks.

The weather is dangerously cold outside. Severe cold. Earlier today I was @ the spot arranging things & after about 10min the outsidegraycat showed up. I dunno where hes staying. It must be nearby. Only 1 cat house plugged in, so I hope he found a warm place.

I finally got my rpi 4b+ to run how I needed it. 1 old software that went obsolete in 2021 + 1 new software
Not easy but I did manage to get it working. This will probably save me appr $30 a month for utilities.

I still dont understand why journalists and press reporters are refraining from straight up verbally trashing the federal politicians.
Under normal circumstances it would be inappropriate to diss the Press Secretary's Mama right in front of everybody. This is not normal circumstances.

So. If theres 3 cat houses, why do the 2 cats stay together in 1 of them? 1 cat spayed, 1 cat neutered. Isnt there more space available in 1 cat house each? All 3 houses have heating capability. The 2 cats & their bond together are the values which should be cared for. They are. Very well.

I dunno if the OutsideGrayCat found an additional source of warm & food or not yet. We will find out because the forecast is showing extremely low temperatures next weekend. I can only provide the food & warmth but I cant force the cat to use the food & warmth.

2 feral cats staying together in an 3COFL3X outdoor cat house in the woods. There is a 19x19 electric heating mat on inside of the cat house folded into a blanket. Theres an additional 2 empty cat houses there too.
Both cats r fixed so aint no wooptywoo going on. Its too cold to roam outside.

Old heating mat required a button press to turn on. So I replaced it with the old, old heating mat. Old old heating mat just has a manual switch.

Yesterday someone got into my outdoor toolbox. It was empty. Ive had no time to secure it other than an airtag. So this morning I made the box secure. Noone can open the toolbox without breaking it open and breaking what is inside. If they take the box then I am tracking it.

I have tried really hard to get the OutsideGrayCat to go back into the fancy-ass cat house. The cat does not want to. I put food in there, he started eating it. I closed the roof of the cat house. Seconds later the cat hisses and exits the door. Looks at me asking for food. There is Food & Warmth..📍

Outside Ambassador Cat & Orange cat are ❤️in the old cat house. The two new fancy houses sit empty. Well, except a bowl of cat food. The regular old cat house is where the two cats chose to stay, so I put the old heat mat in there. The weather forecast shows very very cold all next week.

OutsideGrayCat comes and goes every few days. When the weather got cold I plugged in an empty cat house. When weather got warm he was at the spot again. Electricity is limited, Im not leaving an empty cat house plugged in from hereon. If it shows up I will plug in the heat.

The spoon was on the ground. The gray cat was next to it. When I looked the the spoon - cat looked at the spoon. I slowly reached for the spoon telling the cat "do not scratch me" & the cat immediately scratched my hand when it came close. Welcome back.

So I put the heating mat and a thick folded blanket into the old cat house. A&O cats have been staying inside of it. This morning gray cat came back. One of thems gonna have to stay in the fancy-ass new cat house whether they like it or not, because over the next few days we are getting extreme cold

The outside cats dont like the new fancy ass cat houses. Im guessing because of 2 things : 1. Its insulated so its harder to hear outside. 2. It only has 1 door. The house was designed for warmth in cold.

OutsideGrayCat came back today. It was gone for about 7 days or so, so I thought he split the scene.
I believe he may have found a territory in the grassy field. There is forest + farm for miles back there.
Starting today temps outside drop eventually into single digit range.

One day my (apartment) fellow residents noticed me feeding the cats. The next day their lil squeaky doggie ran up to me barking. The next day after that a different resident was in the distance with his dog unleashed. Each of them is aware that safe distance is essential. We ❤️ our pets.

Outside gray cat left. Two remaining cats chose to stay in the old cat house. I put the heating pad back into it.
I bought 2 insulated, electric cat houses and they are currently sitting empty.

My cat Bee plays with the cat fishing toy for about 3 seconds. Hes too intelligent. Giving Bee a toy is like giving a grown adult a toy. He plays with it for a second or two and stops then looks at me like : its a toy.
He wrestles the hand. Viciously. Thats how he plays sport.
