We had a Maine Coon years ago. Loved that cat.

Ditto. “Duchess”. Loved that cat.
I spent a winter in Boston back in the 70s and come spring thaw as the drifts started subsiding and uncovered the dead animals that we’re left out or strayed and had froze to death as a result of the dreadful weather.
To this day when my dog wants to go outside at 2:30 in the morning I get up I take her outside and I stay outside with her until she’s ready to come back in. I do that mostly because she’s kind of small and I don’t want to have a predator take her out because I’m not around to give the predator pause. But lots of people throw their dog out where the cat man go back to bed and that dog or that cat might be out for 6 hours and if it’s really freezing outside there’s a good chance that they could expire from hypothermia just like we do.
