Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / November 2007She does love a fire :)
It's nice and chilly outside (finally!). I've got a nice fire burning in the fireplace. For a while there was a nice sunbeam streaming through the window, across the front of the fireplace, too. Persia made herself quite at home on a pillow in the sun in front of the fire :) Jill (camera battery is dead, darnit) > It's nice and chilly outside (finally!).

Persia is such a luxurious cat. Jo >> It's nice and chilly outside (finally!). I've got a nice fire >> burning in the fireplace.

Persia is such a beautiful kitty, that would have made a gorgeous photo. Joyce > It's nice and chilly outside (finally!). I've got a nice fire burning > in the fireplace.

I could not imagine how she could stand it. I was, even, afraid to touch her for fear of pressing her (very) hot fur against her skin! She loved it, though. Oh yeah, I was hotter back then too. sigh Andy >> It's nice and chilly outside (finally!). I've got a nice fire burning >> in the fireplace.

His cat would lie down in front of the stove, only a few inches away. Sometimes, when the smell of scorched fur became too strong, he would reach down and roll the cat over to her other side, a process he called "turning the cat". At that range from the stove, the radiated heat was unpleasantly intense on human skin. Apparently the cat's fur insulated her enough that she just felt pleasantly warm.  SignatureJohn F.

Years ago we used to heat the living room with a 2 bar electric fire and Fugazi (RB) used to lie right next to it. Of course eventually you'd start to smell burning fur and go "Gaz-Gaz wake up!"and she would open an eye, look at you then roll over to do the other side Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs |
