Well, other cats' moms and dads got a snow day, mine got a gas day! The governor declared a state of emergency earlier this afternoon, so Mom's home early and we're going to hunker down and wait out the rolling blackouts for natural gas and maybe even electric. This has already hit the state of Texas, and much of our natural gas comes from there. So let's hope this doesn't last long and that the overnight temps are a bit higher than -5°!
We're shutting all unnecessary things off now. I sense a cat pile happening!
Check in with you later. Stay warm!
Ooh, that is kind of scary, and also kind of exciting. Mom has never heard of a natural gas rolling blackout. Snuggle tight!!!
ReplyDeleteYikes! Snow days are MUCH better than gas days! We hope it doesn't get too cold there, friends.
ReplyDeleteYikes is right! We hope you're all able to stay warm! Snuggle up tight!
ReplyDeleteOh no! We hope it all stays on for y'all. BRR!!!
ReplyDeleteKitty mosh on your mom!!!! Our dad had a snow day yesterday. Actually it was more like a melting slush/rain/ice day. But we still have about a foot of snow here. It's getting boring!
ReplyDeletePuff, Spot, & baby Jake.
We didn't know what rolling blackouts were so we had to google it. So basically when it is at it's coldest and you need power the most, they cut it off. Great!!!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you can all snuggle together and keep warm.
Hmm.... Stay warm to you too! Purrs.
ReplyDeleteI've only lived here 6 years and I did not know we had temps like this...it is crazy! For the first time we are happy to be on propane.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be thinking about you guys and hoping you stay warm and purrie...
Yikes!!! We had never heard of that either!!We totally agree with Eric & Flynn. Stay warm and have a cozy cat pile :)
ReplyDeletePurrs Mickey, Georgia & Tillie
That is scary William, we can't even imagine having to have heat and light and then not have heat and light. Stay warm and I hope you get to have full time warmth really soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no... you guys stay safe and warm, what a horrible thing!!
ReplyDeleteParts of Los Angeles have been known to have rolling blackouts, only in summer when everybody is using air conditioning! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteMommy was all worried, thinking that your Mom got sent home for *farting*!!
ReplyDeleteKeep warm you guys...snuggle up in bed and NAP!
Wow, I very seldom lose electrical power (our cables are underground), but I have NEVER heard of a storm-caused natural gas outage!
ReplyDeleteIt must be harsh to think of something you "can't" lose and then lose it!
Snuggle the kitties and stay warm...
The Big Thing
Oooooh, stay warm kitties and Human! In an emergency, I guess you can even snuggle with Pretzel, Caroline.
