Thank you, memays! I got home late this evening and did a quick google search on the topic, but did not find many concrete answers. Found a snippet from a fellow Texan's blog where s/he concluded something to the effect of, "It's a cruel, unpredictable winter here for cats, so..."

Anyway, I went ahead and erred on the side of caution and rounded up as many as I could find. Which was frustrating in the dark. Even more frustrating was I did not find as many as I had counted earlier, a week ago!! Where do they go?? Do they get eaten or something? :/ Actually, I found several on the ground, amidst the dead, damp leaves...yikes. They were curled up.

Well, here's to these remaining guys making it. Although, I need to trim this one branch in the pic below (one of the cats may fly the coop if I'm not careful.)
