No it’s not. I saw the caretaker on a video talking about the house and he said it was built around 1852, out of 18 inch limestone blocks. The windows are covered with half-inch thick pieces of plywood. He and 10 other people associated with the museum will be riding out the storm with the 54 (!) cats who reside on the property. The reporter asked why they weren’t packing up the cats and leaving and he was all, yeah, we rent two vans, pack the cats in carriers and drive north. It’d be a minimum of 24 hours to get anywhere and the cats would be terribly stressed.

I completely understand the latter. I once drove with two cats from Salt Lake City to Phoenix. I was lucky to have my ex-boyfriend along because one of my cats just foamed at the mouth, she was so upset. He petted her for hours. The other cat—once he threw up and pooped and I cleaned his carrier, he was perfectly fine. I can’t even imagine moving 54 kitties.
