Howard Berkowitz - 23 Feb 2005 19:25 GMT 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.

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

Yes, Howard is smart and even better has a great sense of humor.

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>

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

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.

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 :)
