and he won't go in it, except to stick his head in for the bits of kibble I put in it to lure him into it. He prefers the chair with a heating pad, even though that doesn't protect him from the wind. He just curls up in a ball and that seems to be enough for him. It's been ridiculously windy for the last few days, with wind chill around -30. Maybe his fur is enough to keep him from feeling the wind. I've put up patio curtains to keep the snow off the porch as much as possible, and he has heated water and food bowls. So my porch is his "home," where he has been living since about March of 2021. He always goes out in the evening to do whatever cats do, no matter how bad the weather is, and I worry about him until he turns up the following morning, sitting on his throne and waiting for breakfast.
