I watched my oldster, Renn, one day last week, and he looked a little chilly. The poor fellow has no fat any more, so I thought he was suffering from the cool air we were experiencing that day. I therefore set up a cat heating pad on the chair that he likes in the sitting room. With a couple of layers of towels, it is warm, not hot (of course heating pads made for cats never grow too hot, anyway). I placed him on it, so he would realise there was added warmth there.
Since then, he has preferred the bedroom’s saddle-topped cat-tree. When he is in the sitting room, he climbs to the top of the taller cat-tree and lies there. He has ignored the heat.
Who has enjoyed the heating pad? Brazil. He will be two years old in April, is full of vigour and health, yet feels the need for some snug warmth, especially after heating himself up by rocketing about the apartment. Cats are perverse creatures.
Well, at least someone is enjoying it…
As we know..Pussy~cats have a mind of their
ReplyDeleteown...you can't train them, they will do exactly
what 'they' want do...and annoy their humans
to get or do exactly what they want them to do..!
When they've accomplished that, and without a
by or leave...off they go to 'their' favourite place
to groom and settle down for a sleep..! :)
Bless them...would we have them any other way..?
HeHe! Of course not...! :O).
A wise woman said to me: "Cat".
ReplyDeleteWe humans just aren't cats, so we know NUTHIN'!
Our oldster Sweetie sleeps in her heated beddy for awhile, then lays on a piece of cardboard on the hardwood floor.
CAT!
Don't let that heat go to waste! We are not having a warm week here at all and I'll take all I can get. Brazil knows a good thing going for sure. And Renn, well he must enjoy what they call about the highest tier in human stadiums, the nose bleed section.
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely no accounting for a cat's preferences!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should take it for yourself, and put it at your back on evenings YOU are chilly. Ha!
Dearest John,
ReplyDeleteYes, our kitties can be unpredictable in what they like or not like...
Hugs,

Reminds me of tint Tortie Robin. She was 5 pounds when she went to the Bridge...prior to that, being so thin, she was so cold in the living room. Bought a heated pad for her and she would NOT use it!
ReplyDeleteHey, two cats are getting exactly what they want. A success story!
ReplyDeleteRenn is just being a typical cat, but at least Brazil is enjoying the warmth.
ReplyDeleteMr Renn and Mr Brazil both look comfy.
ReplyDeleteCassi likes to sleep on the cable box. The problem is that she has learned where the on/off button is on the box and turns off the TV while I'm watching it. Well, we know who is boss in my house, and it's not me! :-)
ReplyDeleteThey sure will always make their own choices, comfy is in the paw of the beholder.
