The Animal House Lake is back. Please be sure that your animals have a dry place to lay down on. Being wet increases the chance of illness.

Public Service

Some Sergeant so and so is using the Colstrip Police Departments phone number (749-2211) to gather information on former Rosebud County residents. So far, it doesn't sound like they are asking for money, but they may be recording your conversation. It's a holiday, so the courts are closed, and no one is going to arrest you for not showing up. Picture is for attention, no piggy banks have been harmed that we know of.

We love our pets -- and yours! Do you have a picture to share?

If it's cold to you, it definitely is to your animals .. please double check on them!

Extreme weather alert!
Please feed your cats in the afternoon Sunday, ahead of the snow and give them lots of fresh water. Monday morning and afternoon, do not encourage your cats to come out of their shelters. Cats coming out during this event will have snow melting off their fur. This increases their chances of hypothermia. Cats are smarter than we are. If they are not coming out for food, that is normal behavior. Leave their food in feeding stations and make sure it is protected from wind and water. They will come out when it is safe to do so.
Wind is also a deterrent for cats to be out and about. It is their survival instincts. Those instincts have been in place for thousands of years. We all worry about our friends outside but sometimes intervening can be a danger to the cats.
So help them by letting them do what nature has taught them and give them some extra food today!
More tips below:
Leave fresh food and water at their feeding stations.
Do not move any food closer to or inside their shelters! Cats won't sleep where there is food and they will leave and try to find alternate shelter which can lead them into danger.
Do not call your cats out. If they are hunkered down, there is a reason for it.
Some cats may hunker down for a day or two rather than venture out - this is normal.
Take a shovel to create a path for the cats or you may need to dig them out if a snowdrift covers the opening to their shelter door.
If you know of a cat that seeks shelter under a deck, shed, or even under a car to escape the high winds, heavy snow or sleet.....they could get snowed in and trapped. They won’t and can’t dig out.
So, if you don’t know where the cat is, think, “If I was a cat, where would I hunker down?
Mix kitten dry food with cats meals for extra calories, if possible.
Feeding at the high point of the day will give the cats the longest duration before wet food freezes.
Do not mix wet and dry food together in winter months. Dry food freezes but cats often swallow whole.
Ping pong balls floating in water bowls keeps the surface moving and delays freezing.
A teaspoon of salt dissolved in a bottle of water and placed in water bowl will keep the water from freezing. (Make sure the lid is on tightly.)
Very important: Do not dump ice from water bowls at the feeding area. When ice melts, it will create dangerous wet / muddy ground, exposing cats to frigid water.
