[quote=Anonymous]My cat spends some of his time outdoors.  We let him in and out.  In this weather, he goes out for a couple minutes, then comes right back in.  When it is particularly cold out, I make sure he is in as quickly as possible.  You can disagree that he should be outside at all, but I do try to make sure he isn't out in weather extremes for too long.  He's not a fan and while he likes to see for himself, he is pretty good about coming back in quickly.  In normal temps, he generally comes and goes every 2 hours.

An ex neighbor called animal control on us when she saw him out on a day it snowed several years ago.  It wasn't anywhere near below zero temps that day, and I stay near the door for him to come back.  He hadn't been out all that long that particular day.  The animal control lady seemed pretty amused when she met me, actually-she rolled her eyes about the neighbor.

Our dog has been in and out today.  She probably stayed in the backyard for 10 minutes at the longest today.

I don't ever leave the animals out for extended periods.  I certainly wouldn't leave a dog in the yard all night in these temps. [/quote]
