Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006Warming icy kitty toes
This morning Dennis got up before me. This is an *extremely* rare occurrence! Vino went out in the living room with him for a few minutes, but then wanted back in the bedroom to keep an eye on me. It's me he gets food from, not Dennis, and he knows this fact well! Anyway, he came walking up to me on the bed and put an icy paw on my arm that was sticking out from under the covers. He made a weird little mrrrp and settled down with his 2 cold front paws pressed against my arm. Seconds later, he wiggled his back end around so that all 4 of his icy paws were pressed against my arm. He began purring contentedly. When his paws were all toasty warm, he told me it was time to get up and serve breakfast. Naturally I obeyed :-)  SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Eeeeeeeeeeek! ;) Same here. I used to use Rusty as a foot warmer when I came in from the cold. He didn't like my icy feet and so of course I stopped doing it.

Why are they saying on the local news that the first day of winter is June 1? Wouldn't it be June 21? In Canada that would be the first day of summer so I figured it would be the opposite here. I mean the solstice isn't going to change depending on which hemisphere you're in. I'm getting quite confused...

I'm getting quite confused... The convention is that Winter is June-August. They seem to prefer sticking to calendar months for this sort of thing, and late August can certainly be cold enough to merit the label. On the other hand, May can be pretty chilly itself, so it's unclear to me exactly why this set of months was chosen. If you said June 21 was the start, then you'd either have to call Winter less than 1/4 of the year long, or call most of September Winter, and that's just not going to fly. September is normally too warm here for that. SignatureGreg Johnson >>Yup. Here's a question. Why are they saying on the local news that the >>first day of winter is June 1? Wouldn't it be June 21?

I was in Victoria in August, and it was what I would call early spring. People's gardens were starting to sprout.

Everywhere I've lived that had winter, November sure seemed to qualify. And Spring and Fall never feel like they are as long as summer and winter. Jo >>>> This morning Dennis got up before me.

They've started calling May 24th th start of summer here now, although it was a cool and wet 15° last weekend. But almost 34° this past week. >>> This morning Dennis got up before me.

I realized that as soon as I hit "send" :) Ooops! Well, it's still Spring here! >Poor little Vino is used to Thai heat, not Australian spring!

The weather downunder is going to be getting colder for a few months before it warms up again. Tish > This morning Dennis got up before me. This is an *extremely* rare > occurrence!

Naturally I obeyed :-) LOL! I got the nicest wake-up in a long time today. Caliban used to come and snuggle with me in the morning when he was a kitten, cuddling up against my face and treading me and purring. Well, he gave me one of these kitten wake-ups today. Just lovely. Much better than him scratching at the door to the enclosure. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Naturally I obeyed :-) It's been unseasonably cold here these last few days, so Soncek went back to sleeping at my feet at night which he only does in winter.
