Warming icy kitty toes
This morning Dennis got up before me. This is an *extremely* rare
occurrence! Vino went out in the living room with him for a few minutes, but then wanted back in the bedroom to keep an eye on me. It's me he gets food from, not Dennis, and he knows this fact well! Anyway, he came walking up to me on the bed and put an icy paw on my arm that was sticking out from under the covers. He made a weird little mrrrp and settled down with his 2 cold front paws pressed against my arm. Seconds later, he wiggled his back end around so that all 4 of his icy paws were pressed against my arm. He began purring contentedly. When his paws were all toasty warm, he told me it was time to get up and serve breakfast. Naturally I obeyed :-) -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I used to use Rusty as a foot warmer when I came in from the cold. He didn't like my icy feet and so of course I stopped doing it.

Caliban used to come and snuggle with me in the morning when he was a kitten, cuddling up against my face and treading me and purring. Well, he gave me one of these kitten wake-ups today. Just lovely. Much better than him scratching at the door to the enclosure. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Why are they saying on the local news that the first day of winter is June 1? Wouldn't it be June 21? In Canada that would be the first day of summer so I figured it would be the opposite here. I mean the solstice isn't going to change depending on which hemisphere you're in. I'm getting quite confused... -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

I'm getting quite confused... The convention is that Winter is June-August. They seem to prefer sticking to calendar months for this sort of thing, and late August can certainly be cold enough to merit the label. On the other hand, May can be pretty chilly itself, so it's unclear to me exactly why this set of months was chosen. If you said June 21 was the start, then you'd either have to call Winter less than 1/4 of the year long, or call most of September Winter, and that's just not going to fly. September is normally too warm here for that. -- Greg Johnson |
