Stray?

If more people would keep their pets inside in the freezing cold, it would be easier for me to determine whether a cat outside is in need of my help. I've seen this cat's footsteps around the house, but that could just be because I have the tastiest treats ( that is: birds) in my backyard.
On the other hand, I have a hard time believing any cat would voluntarily trudge through 15 inches of snow, in 10F weather.

I'll keep my eyes open.

The Beloved joked that maybe someone had spread the word that we are one cat down and all the potentials are coming to check us out.
I really hope that just by saying that he didn't make it happen :/
