Thread: One cold kitty!

    This brings tears to my eyes, Laura. My RB Boo was a blackie and he did the same thing. First thing in the morning when I turned up the heat, he'd make a bee line for the hallway vent. Creamsicle does, too, except she hogs the kitchen vent. Now Yodie takes Boo's place in the hallway.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Reese is a great lover of registers in the winter. She also likes to burrow under the afghan on the footstool, between our feet. We discovered her on a cool day in October 2001 - climbing into car engines to get warm. So keeping warm is very important to her.

    I am glad to hear she is not that unusual! She sits in the corner in the bathroom all the time, I thought at first it was to just be alone, then I realized it was the heat. She loves getting under the covers too and will stay under the covers all night..

    My apartment gets pretty cold, so I just got a pressure-sensitive warming pad and put it on the one cushy chair, under a soft blankie. That's Smudge's default winter spot, unless I'm in bed, where he joins me just as I'm dropping off to sleep.

    Cat's natural body temperature is actually a bit cooler than humans', but they're carnivores, not omnivores like us. They're built for hardcore sprinting, and tend to conserve energy otherwise, so they're sponges for heat!

    Toby can quite often be found napping immediately in front of the woodburning stove, and on rare occasions will crawl under the covers with meHavoc just goes from lap to lap.

    It really must be a black kitty thing to do. My black cat Sid (Obsidian) is always found under the blankets on the bed, or snuggled up to the vents and sometimes under the pillows, lol.

    Laura, how's this for a heat hugger? Sometime I swear Missy's gonna catch on fire! (sorry about the eyes!)
