Donating YT 11K Club Member | Street cats There are 2 black cats that i always see when i look out my window. They hang out behind the building next to me, where usually there are a lot of trees but right now its all ice and its very cold. I don't know if they belong to anyone but i always see them together. Should i call someone? Or should i let them be? I feel bad cause of the ice on the ground.

Donating YT 11K Club Member | I looked closer and they look like they are well fed. One even looks pregnant, they look a little chubby. So maybe someone got them to leave them outside or to catch rats, i still feel bad

| It's very possible that they are someone's pets and they just roam outside. Not everyone owns animals just to keep them indoors. We have two cats that live outside that do a wonderful job keeping mice, probably snakes and other critters away (we live in the country). When it's really cold, we know that they have ways to get in my husband's big shop outside so they can get comfortable. I've never been a big fan of people who let their animals roam (my husband's uncle has a dog that roams the entire countryside) but out in the country, it's not unusual to have cats outside - we used to call them barn cats. Whatever you do, if you don't want them to become a permanent fixture on your porch, don't feed them! If they look malnourished, you can call someone to pick them up but if they look healthy and aren't bothering you, I would just let them be. Yes, I would think they are cold also but chances are they have a warmer place they could be if they wanted to (well, maybe not warmer - just not an icy area). Animals that are used to being outside adjust to the cold better than we think they would.
