King of the cat platform
"Mark Edwards" wrote in message ... Senyah slipped in the tub this morning, and banged herself up pretty badly. We went to the hospital, but she's okay. Our apartment complex hasn't yet switched from heat to air conditioning, despite the fact that temps are in the 80's here. This is what sparked Senyah's fall - MS is heat-sensitive. So, we finally see the doctor, tell him about this problem, and he pronptly prescribes - an air conditioner. Yay! All tenants were told a couple of months ago, to remove all window units. Now we have, literally, just what the doctor ordered. This also results in a cat-sized platform, extending from our window. How long did it take for the neighborhood cats to discover this? Minutes. First Dulcie jumps up on it, and comes inside when I open the door. Then Squeaky Girl jumps up there, wanting to be fed. Finally, Buster wants out. The first thing he does is jump up on the air conditioner too. You'd think with all the hot air pouring out of it that it wouldn't be such a popular spot... Hugs and Purrs, Mark sending some purrs for Senyah. Brenda |

Many get well purrs from us for Senyah, Mark!

I'm glad she wasn't more seriously hurt. Bathtub falls can be pretty serious. Our apartment complex hasn't yet switched from heat to air conditioning, despite the fact that temps are in the 80's here. This is what sparked Senyah's fall - MS is heat-sensitive. I've never heard of an apartment complex that can only have heat *or* AC, and that all apartments have the same thing at the same time. What happens during seasonal transitions, such as early spring or late fall, when the weather goes back and forth between warm and cold?? You'd think with all the hot air pouring out of it that it wouldn't be such a popular spot... Oh, I don't know - cats are heat-seaking missiles, after all. Even in hot weather, mine all find the absolute hottest place in the apartment, right in the only patch of sun, to hang out in. Congrats on the A/C, though - I'm sure it'll help! Joyce |

Regarding the air conditioner, considering how much cats love heat, wouldn't it be a natural place for them to hang out? It sounds perfect to me, a nice really warm spot where you can get the hoomin's attention without difficulty. Pam S. who's cats have been hanging out in the enclosure since it warmed up |

The school board picked a calendar date for turning the heat on in the fall, and a calendar date for turning the air conditioning on in the spring. It didn't make a difference what the actual weather was like. The fact that only part of the building had air conditioning didn't help matters, either. I graduated in 1975, and they have replaced the high school building since then, so hopefully they now have A/C in the whole building and a more reasonable heating/cooling policy as well. The schools I work at have the same system as you describe, except the air conditioners are based through all of the buildings. They have target dates for both heating and air, but if the weather meets certain criteria for a week, they'll turn it on early or later if need be. Pam S. who suffers for that week of early heat. |
