Why don't people keep their cats inside in this weather?

[Ann Clarke (Tabby cat)]

I keep telling my two they don't know how well off they are being indoor cats in this weather while their poor meowmy has to battle her way to work on public transport, they ignore me of course

mine do go out but not for very long, well Amber doesn't she is a girl of summer

The straight answer to the title is................cos some cats like to go out no matter what the weather and I for one would have big problems with Sasa especially but also Misa if they couldnt go out.

Sasa was out watching the birds this morning, Misa is still asleep cos he goes out hunting at night.

I am worried that they will shelter under the vets/VNs cars at the back. AFAIK, the owner is home during the day as from what I have heard, he is a guitar maker/teacher so I picture him as a doped up hippy type.

Have to say all our mob are indoors at times like this I am so glad we have a vcery large house they are all sleeping a lot but a bit stir crazy after 7 days of confinement - which will continue till I can at least get out the door and have some space even the dogs did a double take this morning

It was the same last winter. The 2 tortie sisters are out in all weathers/all hours 

I know some people don't agree with feeding other people's cats, but these aren't just chancers, they really are starving at times. Her sister was on the fence miowing for food at 7am and this one was just outside. I held a bowl of simply up for her to eat. She stayed for a fuss and waited for ages. She had a layer of snow on her 

I went to get the camera (as am going to try to find out who owns then to report them)

She decided to take off as I took the photo from the kitchen, but you can see the snow on her - poor baby 

I had already cleared the snow off the fence.
