kitty logistics, winter (+?)
OK, just got back from Petco armed with:
* a bundle of wood shavings for insulation
* a big fluffy pet bed
* treats
* food
* more treats
* litter
* a bunch of solid advice from an employee who's taking care of four semi-strays of her own
Plan A is to put our big old dog crate on the porch, fill it with insulation and the kitty bed, cover it with a warm blanket and a trash bag for waterproofing, and hope to Bast that Ceejay will accept it as outdoor shelter for the upcoming night of 28 degrees.
For the other five, Plan A is still All-Night Cat Party. I am NOT looking forward to chaperoning 5-6 kitties in a tiny cluttered apartment, but I'm looking forward to it a lot more than leaving the kids out in subfreezing weather.

(Plan B is "buy the cheapest fleece blankets we can find at Goodwill and shove them through the holes the cats use to get into the abandoned basement next door." The Petco cashier said just curling up there wouldn't be enough by itself, but with something to curl up IN they'd probably be all right...)
