Oh Cataholic , I hope that your furnace was not on ???:eek: :eek: :eek:
Last night, Jan was sitting on top of the water heater. She was nice and toasty.
the fun never ends.
my body temp runs pretty high (i was always getting in trouble
for sitting in a chair and leaving it too HOT for the next person)
so i have the pleasure of having the cat climb on top of me during the night and start to do the kitty-paw-kneading-thing.
he starts at my feet and works his way up to the shoulders.....it makes for interesting dreams.
It was...but I think that is ok. The furnace I have is really large and old. It measures about 1.5 metres by a little less than 1 metre. It gets warm on top, but doesn't seem to get HOT!Quote:

I see I was right with the cat hammock thingy, it sits on the side of the older fashioned radiators. But, that would still work for those places that have a window over the floor register. We don't have them, but I wish we did! I do have a window seat one, that you hang off of the window sill (do you understand what a sill is?), and the cats sit in it. But, yours is much better....
We have our central heating starting only Saturday, starting September we used a room heater. Juni was cooking herself in front of it. Now, she's on the radiator as long as she can bear it, they are really hot. After that, she lies on the couch with two paws (the ones near the radiator) hanging down between the couch and radiator. She looks like Tama.
I saw that Lut's picture (or was it one of C&K?) with the hammock long ago, I thought I could make one. Our radiators are perfect for this kind of hammock.
My parents used to have a house with a wood stove. They had two cats, Tiger and Ebony. Ebony, who's still with my mom, is a huge Maine Coon who will be about 13 in Feb. He used to lay UNDER the wood stove (it was on legs) and his coat got too hot to touch! On a cat special on PBS years ago there was a cat who liked to hang out in a blacksmith shop and supervise.
I've seen that one too -it was not only hot but very loud in there but the cat had it all under control.Quote:

I just remembered how Naomi used to like hot places.
I used to bake (not anymore, trying to stay fit, and cakes don't really help keeping a certain weight). Once, after I took the apple pie from the stove, I left the stove open to cool down. Then my sister found out she's going to have guests and she decided to roast a chicken, so... she lit the fire. The moment she wanted to close the door of the stove, Naomi jumped out, smelling awfully. She was absolutely black and almost invisible in the stove. She burned her fur a little and she was stinky for some days. Now, we always check if no cat's in there :D

This is Graemer. When they were younger, they would both fit on the top of the AMP, now only one will fit. This photo was taken last spring.
:D
SAS at least your two stand up to each other. My Bodhi is such a wuss he never fights with Maya about anything. She shoos him out of where he's sleeping, she eats his food and rules the roost with a velvet paw. ( me included) I wish he would put her in her place every now and then with a well placed nip or two.:mad:
My two Abys are evenly matched, I must admit. Graemer is much more tolerant of guests in the house etc. but he really goes after Miley from time to time. She hollers every chance she gets, and comes running to me. I usually catch Graemer mid-air as he is leaping on top of her, running from room to room, under chairs etc..... I let them do the chase/bite/run/nip thing for awhile, then I stop them. Yes, Graemer has been known to fight Miley for the warm spot, and WIN! The monitor is one of their favorite "fight spots" ....But Miley holds her own most times. Miley is a spoiled, whiney baby and Graemer is a bit of a bully. A tie game most of the time.
Gabe stays out of the fights. :rolleyes:
