One More Discovery for Cammie


Cammie keeps on surprising me. The weather here is very cold: with the wind-chill, the temperature fell to -31° (Celsius; though when it’s that cold, it doesn’t matter what rule one uses) a couple of nights ago. The cats of course have their fur coats, and I have three heating pads in cat-beds or towels for their added comfort. One is in the parlour, and Cammie enjoys it more and more. But at night, Kola is locked in the parlour to prevent any nocturnal attempts on his peace of mind by Tucker. The Floof King uses the heating pad then.

Except for that, Cammie hasn’t used cat-beds much. But on the weekend, I found my Siamese princess comfortably curled up in one of the heated beds in the sitting room. I’m glad it wasn’t the one Tungsten habitually uses. I don’t need the orange one having another excuse to dislike her roommate.


Cammie’s expression is, unfortunately, always that combination of melancholy and misery that you see here. Despite that, I think she was enjoying herself, because soon, she was snoozing away the day.


It’s fun to watch a cat learn and discover. Just when I think they get into a habit, they change it. Now that Cammie has  found that this bed gives off warmth, she will remember it and, though she may not always use it, it will be there for her when she wants it. And with cats, that’s the most we can provide for them.

  2. Just think of all those who think anything below freezing is cold. Freezing is when we celebrate a heat wave, right?
    Yes, you have it colder than us in Minnesota, but real cold is real cold, right?
    Stay warm all. Heated cuddle cups for all (can I be first in line?)!

    1. I understand Minnesota can get pretty darn cold, too. And to be fair, southern Alberta isn't regularly -30°. It's not Siberia, so I shouldn't complain. In fact, we have a chinook wind blowing now, and by Thursday, the temperature is predicted to be +5!

  4. Cammie needs to know she really is at home to feel happy and confident. A warm and cozy bed, nicely heated, of her very own just might do the trick.
    My Spirit is in the hospital. Not eating, grossly elevated white count not responding to antibiotics. Hold all of your cats close for you never know...

    1. I hope your friend comes home to you soon and in excellent health. I checked your profile but you don't have a blog, it appears, so please let us know how Spirit fares.

  5. She looks as though she's saying, "get away with that flashy box, I want to take a nap!". She's such a lovely cat in her coloring even if she looks a little unhappy.

    Stay warm, hopefully there is better weather soon!
