Funnily enough I sometimes find a wee mouse clinging to the top of the floor to ceiling curtains with my cats circling below...I usually just stretch up and grab it by it's tail for release outside. Much to cat's chagrin...

Think it was on Arc'teryx or one of those brands....all very swanky.
Hubby bought me a pair of Canadian made leather/sheepskin knee length boots for Christmas. Guaranteed to keep my tootsies warm down to -35C. They cost a few bob too.

The kids have a pair of Bog boots, which are good to -32F....which begs the question of what kids that small are doing in that kind of weather
