How are you staying warm?

Dear Groucho!!
Hi from your NJ buddies!!! Mom is going to try to add some small photos of us keeping warm. One is wearing warm sweaters like the one Hope Simone has on. Another way, and the way we like the BEST, is to snuggle in front of the fireplace insert. Mom keeps it loaded with wood all day in weather like this. At night we take over the bed where Mom and Dad sleep!!! It will be an 8 cat night tonight for sure!!!!

MeOW! Groucho!

Chestnut here. Yes it HAS been cold here. And because of that, Mom draws all the shades down low overnight to help retain the heat. This means we are missing out on watching sun rises! PHET!

I much prefer to sleep alone. And all my furballs here prefer that I do because I SNORE, or so they claim. But these last few day, I've been quite willing to ave someone snuggle up with me. Tuppence has been joining me. I am also normally a very spoiled boy who enjoys sleeping on a bed, sofa, of upholstered chair But these days I can be found sleeping in a donut pet bed which is on the floor! Why? Becaue it is righ in front of a heating vent and it is under a chair so the heat all builds and builds quite nicely. With Tuppy snuggled in the donut with me, we get quit cosy! We sleep head to tail and sometimes our heads duck under each other's tail, lol. We keep our pawsies all in the middle together. Mom's been trying to snap a piccy, even before she saw this thread, but we move as soon as we hear her.

Hey Groucho, this is Vita. In case you don't remember, I am the QUEEN here, I do what I want and all the other pets have to pay attention to me. I've been snuggling under the blankies with Mom at night, and once or twice I must have got disoriented in my sleep and I was under her pillow! I've even come between Mom and Lacey, and THAT is something -- Lacey is velcro stuck to mom most all the time!

Groucho, this is Bobby. Tommy, Chaplin and I often enjoy sleeping in the cellar (Mom keeps the door open almost all the time). Mom has noticed that these last few days, no one seems to even investigate the cellar; someone could have stolen it and we wouldn't even KNOW! We been staying up on the main floor.

I am Dad's cat, Crystal. Or I should say, Mom's Dad, our grandpa. Anyway, I sleep on Dad's bed with Marlin. We don't allow ANY other pets on there. And we often grumble at each other, a full size bed just isn't big enough for the TWO OF US! Yet all of sudden the past few nights, we both been snuggling up to Dad together, and if we are touching it is alright. Now THAT tells ya how cold it is!

Mom says I "bogart" the little box in her room that the heat comes out of. I don't get it. It's just the right size for ME. I also like to get lots of exercise, especially by teasing Don Juan El Dorko.

Dear Groucho,

I might have a kitty aboose case for you. My person has a space heater in the bedroom because the window in there is old and leaks a lot of cold air. She turns it on about 15 minutes before lights out. I like to lie on the floor in front of it, but when she sees me there she picks me up and moves me farther away from it! Doesn't she know that I like to be where it's warm? She said something about not wanting me to get burned. I will have her take a picture of me there so you can see that I don't get too close to it.

She was cleaning out a closet today and moved the space heater into the hallway. That was purr-ty nice for me because I could rest there and keep an eye on her at the same time.

So, that's what I do to stay warm. I rest close to the space heater. When my person doesn't have it turned on, I rest on a warm blanket on the bed that my person keeps out for me.

Could you please have your people give you some hugs, scritchies and loves from us?

Thank you,
Cassie and person Elyse
