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 Purrs for Senyah's quick recovery, and so glad you got the dr.'s slip for the air conditioiner. I have one, too, with my emphysema. So when ours breaks down, I believe I can get a new one free from the Lung Association. Woo-hoo! Glad the cats are enjoying it, too. Our youngest and only girl, little Merlyn, *loves* it when we have the a/c on. She'll stand right in front of it, nose in the air, just sucking it in. She *is* long-haired, and I really think she does *not* tolerate heat very well at all. She must think the air conditioner is the most wonderful thing ever invented -- or at least that's what the look on her face says when she's in front of it! Ginger-lyn |

Why, thank you; no one (not my SLC pal *nor* anyone I know in Denver) seemed
to know exactly how the swamp things worked inside. I get it now: when we hear that compressor start growling outside in its covered enclosure just outside the laundry room, I picture $$$ signs as the electric meter climbs up a little.....no wonder no one has "swampers" here.

"Seanette Blaylock" wrote in message ... had some very interesting things to say about King of the cat platform: 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. Felix actually seems to prefer to find cooler spots as a general rule. -- We used to have to "rescue" Sam regularly. He would sleep in the sun on 100F plus days. And barely be able to stand when he decided he'd had enough. Jo |

Glad the cats are enjoying it, too. Our youngest and only girl,
little Merlyn, *loves* it when we have the a/c on. She'll stand right in front of it, nose in the air, just sucking it in. She *is* long-haired, and I really think she does *not* tolerate heat very well at all. She must think the air conditioner is the most wonderful thing ever invented -- or at least that's what the look on her face says when she's in front of it! Jazz will do this in the summertime. He will stand on top of the registers (we have central heat and a/c) and let the cold air just flow up into his body, Sometimes he sits to the side and lets the air just blow on his face. And he's a short-haired domestic. Jazz & his mama -- Irulan from the stars we came, to the stars we return from now until the end of time |

Hugs and Purrs, Mark sending some purrs for Senyah. Brenda And some more from me. I'd send her a hug too, but she's probably sore enough that she wouldn't appreciate it. ;-) Joy Add mine to Senyah's purr-list. And make sure you tell her that as we get older, falls hurt more! (shields up!). Sam (who's older than either of you) |
