Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Worshipping the GGH
I've uploaded some pics onto my webshots page of Spock and Persephone enjoying the wood heater this evening (remembering that its mid-winter in the southern hemisphere). The ones of Persephone in her stick nest and of her sitting comfortably on my back make me giggle. The one of Spock looking unutterably smug on his platform is also funny. The pics are in an album called "winter 2006" and can be found on: http://community.webshots.com/user/titiandave Tish Great pics! I love the one of Persephone in her stick nest. How can that be comfortable??? I wish we had a wood heater here. But all we have is a gas heater that takes forever to heat up the room because the ceilings are so high. In the bedroom I've got a ceramic heater with a remote control. I sleep with the remote under my pillow (because otherwise Vino would knock it off the beside table) and before getting out of bed, I turn the heater on, then wait in bed until it is warm enough to get up.

I have baseboard heat here, so it's just a radiator that runs all around the perimeter of the house. It probably heats the outside of the house as much as the inside, and no particular designated toasty and comfy cuddle area. > I also wish I had a Great God Heater. Ah, Tak, thank you for expanding that acronym. I could tell from context that GGH meant the furnace, but that still didn't tell me what the letters stood for!

Maybe you could get a bedside table (ie, night table) that has a drawer in it? That's how I keep certain things that I want close at hand, but out of feline reach.

But if I'm going to semi wake up, turn on the heater with the remote and then try to go back to sleep for an hour or so, having to lean way out of bed and open the drawer would probably wake me up too much. Easier to just reach under my pillow, click the button, and go back to sleep. SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

Believe me, there are often times I wished we had something a bit faster and a bit less messy than a wood heater. There is a jolly good reason that everyone cuddles up to it - it's cold in the rest of the house! Admittedly, the heater does a reasonable job of heating the whole house, but it takes time - a couple of hours at least, and until then we either huddle or shiver. Tonight the cats are back in the same positions as last night - Persephone in her stick nest and Spock on his platform. Since DH is out of clean shirts for work, Spock's platform is doubling as a clothes airer - shirts and trousers draped all over it above the fire. Spock just takes it in his stride!

How Persephone can be comfortable in her stick nest is one of those catly mysteries us dumb hoomins will never fathom, and that one of Spock... a perfect picture contentment. We have the air con in "warm" mode when it gets too cold here, and it heats the house very quickly. But it not the same sort of warmth you get from a wood fire, its about as exciting as shopping mall air - the temperature is right, but you could hardly consider it a *pleasurable* warmth, and its certainly not something you & your friends would gather around on a cold night to swap tall tales for large steaming mugs of cocoa. Then again, small curious children cannot burn themselves on air conditioning, no matter how hard they try, which is the one big advantage boring A/C has over any other form of heater.

Persephone is being a bird! And yes, to cats, we are merely cushions. Yet they become resentful if anyone happens to (accidentally!) return the favor. :) >> LOL! Persephone has become a bird!

Caliban and Miranda are, indeed, in great danger of being sat on. I have a bedspread covering my easy chair, because it has been severely scratched up, first by Frank, and now by Caliban. Both Cal and Mir like to crawl under the bedspread to sleep. So it's very easy for me to not see them before I sit down. It's made me pretty careful about checking before I sit, though. But sometimes I believe I know that the cats are somewhere else, and flop down in the chair, and it turns out one of them was under the bedspread after all. :o/ SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.
