My living situation at the moment is such that I have no central heat -- just a small space heater that I'm afraid to run when I'm not at home. With luck, I should be able to get the heat repaired before Christmas, but in the meantime, it's really very cold in the place... about 50 degrees F right now.
I can handle it -- but I'm worried about my little ones, Clyde and Pearl. They're both young and healthy, and the three of us stay reasonably warm at night by snuggling... but I know the cold can't be good for them. The only thing I could do about it right now is take them over to stay with my parents until I can get the heat fixed.
They've come with me to visit my folks on a few occasions, and even though I've stayed there with them the whole time, they've been traumatized. I can't imagine what a panic they'd go into if I took them there and LEFT them. Overnight, yet! I'm afraid that might be even worse for them than the cold.
So I guess what I'm hoping for is confirmation that my kitties can safely handle these temperatures for the next three weeks or so. But if that's not the case, I need to know, so I can try to make them comfortable -- if not happy -- over at my folks' house for a little while. Any expert advice?
