My cats all move in when the weather gets cold. They scratch on my bedroom window until I let them in...and then they want to eat.
Winters are tough when you love those little guys.
On of my little guys died last week. Broke my heart.
This is a tough business.
I am so sorry you lost one, it is heartbreaking.
I’ve tried leaving the door open and he has come in to look around, well six feet in but if I move he takes off.
I tried a heating pad under his cat bed on the porch and he wouldn’t go near it. Maybe it made a noise he could hear but I can’t. I do have an opening so he can go under the house but that’s just out of the wind and weather, not warm.
Sorry to read about your cat :(
