Unfortunately, this doesn't lend itself to a picture. I had to move
around a fair bit before I understood the cat geometry!

I have a table on which I have indoor plant lights and trays for
starting seeds or growing small plants. Behind the table are a set of
large-windowed French doors.

Mr. Clark has wedged his large body between a plant tray and the glass
doors. At first, the only visible catsign were two paws, seemingly
floating agaist the glass. At further examination, they indeed were
attached to two legs.

Further study revealed that he has gotten himself on his side, such that
he's suntanning his entire underside, although he's generally hidden.
When I addressed him, a tail flicked out from one side, and I may have
seen an ear. Without going closer, I know he's so comfortable that he
should not be disturbed.

Nothing like enjoying a bright, sunny day.   MLB

True. He was, however, doing his best impression of one of those cat
dolls with suction-cup feet clinging to the inside of a car window.

Apparently, his belly is toasty, and now he's just looking outside. I
wonder if he knows there's snow in the forecast?

I just let TuTu out on the back enclosed patio because it is a nice day
here also.  One minute flat -- she wanted in.  Best wishes.   MLB

Howard, do you how much snow is forecast for down there? My daughter lives
in Germantown, and she will be thrilled if it snows. She keeps asking me to
send her some (I live in central New York State), and I tell her to come up
and get some if she really wants it that bad! <G>

Four to eight inches. Hopefully, I can use my 4x4 to run some errands
during the snow, when most people are off the roads. I have to watch my
physical reaction more than driving -- snow shoveling, and even heavy
brushing of the car, is the one thing that seems to affect my heart,
very quickly exhausting me.

Then the wise thing would be to cuddle down with a cat and a good book.
The unexpected can happen driving in snow storms even with 4X4s.  Now --
"a word to the wise is sufficient".  MLB

Unfortunately, unless I can convince a client to express a check, I have
to go get it -- and a county permit for some critical work relating to
refinancing.

the fellow who ran the Playhouse I used to work at had two cats that would
sleep directly on the floor heaters of the old house they lived in. They got
HOT. I couldn't believe it, but it was a favorite snooze spot.

Persia is a heat-seeking missle.  A patch of sun, me, whatever :)
