RE: Happy Holidays to All, now cat door

Wow. Even your cats are tough! Sitting on a patch of snow?? The few
times we've had ice or snow on the ground, if Sugar steps on it, she
draws her paw back like something bit her, then jumps on the porch and
licks it for 5 minutes until it warms up. Lord knows how she got so
spoiled, I certainly didn't spoil her!!
