Frankie is my absolute favorite - but I could learn to like Spencer if he'd help me muck out the goat sheds...

Great pics, Minelson!

I really like your cat house. I want to keep cats outdoors to help control the mice and chipmunks that live in our mowers and cost us lots each spring. Where did you get those hanging heat lamps? They look safe.

I love these heat lamps because I am super paranoid with the martian hat cheapos. I only use them in the cat house and don't put any hay or straw in there for bedding. I can sleep at night using these!!
