Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female
It is winter time here and my eight week old kitten is absolutely bored in the garage. She isn't allowed in the house but we give her food everyday and she catches mice in the garage. She wants to go out and once she did go out when it was snowing and was bewildered. How can I take care of Holly in the winter? And how cold is too cold for her?

If it is cold for you, it is probably cold for her. Just make sure she has a way to get out of the cold by going into the garage or a warm spot outside. You could set up an insulated cat bed by cutting a hole in an ice chest (use google for other diy winter cat beds). You can also play with her throughout the day. Use various toys like a laser pointer, toys on a stick, feather toys, bell toys, etc. Playing in the snow is also a type of stimulation she may enjoy.
