I can't stand this any longer. This cat insists on sitting on my easy chair in the living room, which is the only place we have any sort of heat. We use a pellet stove insert in the fireplace... it keeps about half the upstair toasty and a large electric blanket takes care of warmth in the bedroom. But this damn cat won't get off the chair. I put him on the floor, he has every opportunity to sit somewhere else, hell, even curl up with in roasting distance from the pellet stove, we could have cat burger. But no, I'll put him on the floor and then I sit down, and he jumps right up on my lap, which is very uncomfortable, I can't stand the cat on my lap and all the cat hair and smell. And it's no better in the bedroom. As soon as we hit the bed, turn on the electric blanket, he's camping between my legs. I can't move, it's like having 6 pounds of hamburger meet sitting between your legs.
I'm done with this. I'm putting him out tonight. I don't give a poop how cold it is. It's just a freaking animal who doesn't deserve to be making my life miserable. Out you go pussy.

I don't want it to die. At least I don't want to be responsible for it. If I tried your method, I couldn't sleep tonight. And my whole reason for putting it outside tonight is so I can get a good nights sleep without having the little pain in the ass sleeping between my legs on the electric blanket. I want it to fend for itself, like a good animal. It will be alright outside. There's plenty of places around here that it can cuddle up in... we have a shed (oops... I need to crack the door on it), and then there is the snow den that my husky dug, and how about the birds... they birds are always there in the next morning, shouldn't be to hard for a cat.

Ok... I got a problem. I decided to let him back in... I got a number of really bad private messages that really dumped on me for putting the cat outside in this cold... so, I went outside to let him in... can't find the little sucker for anything... even used a flashlight and called his name real loud. If anyone finds a black and white male cat with a name tag "Peekie" on it... please call the number on the tag. I'm not going to be able to get any damn sleep until he's found.
You are so gonna have every one of your shoes, and your electric blanket, peed on tonight when he finally comes back in LGT...cats are vengeful creatures you know
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
If your cat is really counting on vengeance he'll stay away just long enough to confirm you brought home a replacement and then show up on your door step. Just think, you'll be in trouble for turning the monster loose, have to get a new cat, and then have two of those monsters contending for lap time in the easy chair and the premium sleeping spots on the bed. I'm afraid your troubles may have only just begun...
Seriously tho, best of luck. Hopefully your cat decided to go check out the area around your house and will come back when he's ready to come inside.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
