That is sweet.

It is the opposite here, summer is on its way and Gizmo is slowly weaning
herself from the heater.....it was so warm (for this time of the year) the
other night that she was sleeping with her whole body pressed against the
smallest of gaps at the front door!!!

Mind you, come summer, the neighbour feels sorry for her and lets her into
the air conditioning (something DF and I don't get the pleasure of enjoying,
just little princess cat)

Awww, that's so sweet! I know how enjoyable those sessions are, especially
when they're that rare. :)

That sounds a bit like my Crowley, as well....he often meows and meows and
meows at me, really trying to get a message through, and at first, I didn't
have the foggiest idea what he wanted. I learned pretty quickly thought
that, when Crowley goes on and on with no obvious agenda, he usually just
wants some attention, and that shuts him right up (not that I don't enjoy
his talking, mind you).... :)

Winter is coming here too. We had a bad one last year. I had to have
groceries delivered 2 times because I was scared to drive out in the
snow/ice to go to the supermarket. Although it's fun to be locked in for a
day or 2 due to bad weather, it gets old real fast. Thank goodness we don't
have a d*g that has to be walked outside. Jazz and I do real great in our
warm house all cuddled up.

Lucky you, a lot of snowbirds pay big bucks to move down to where you
are. We're almost in the same boat, except we have a month or so of
(generally) near winter. Sometimes it creeps into **GASP** Winter, and
the cats blame me for the world coming to an end in little white splots.

I always said something similar about Southern California, but our two
seasons were Summer and Drizzle (with Summer being the much longer one, of
course).... ;)

What a coincidence! We, too, have only two seasons: "hot" and "hotter"!
Can't you blow a little cool air down to south Florida all the way from
nippy Finland? It would be so refreshing and make these old cats frisky as
kittens again. I know this is true because that's how they get on the rare
cold day in winter here (maybe 3 or 4 altogether).
