"Christina Websell" skrev i meddelandet ... "Lisa Katt" wrote in message ... Oh Christina, you live in a house without central heating, and your cat has an electric blanket while you haven't? In the competition of "Who is spoiling their cats most" I never imagined that YOU would win first price. Elisabet You didn't? Why is that? ;-) If he is fast asleep in my chair, I sit somewhere else because he looks so comfortable I don't like to disturb him. He is allowed so much lap time that I don't get half my work done and I only put the sucky monster on when he is out because he doesn't like it. He is extremely indulged in every way except being a diva over food, he is allowed a few dislikes of course but no way am I getting into the Tigger situation my brother is in. Boyfie will thank me one day as I will know when he is ill, and when/if he is, there are all those very high quality super-premium foods to tempt him with. It is not a sign of love to feed your cat the very best food as a matter of course. What's in your armoury then, if they are ill and off their food? Nothing. Tweed Boyfie is a sweet cat. A real gentlecat. He deserves the best. But still - he has an electric blanket and you have not! Elisabet |

I have a 15 tog duvet and a wheat bag (put this in the microwave for 2 mins each side, better than a hot water bottle as it doesn't go so cold you have to throw it out of bed) I have never lived in a house with central heating so I am used to being a bit cold during the winter. |

A 15 tog duvet would cook me, I have a 4.5 tog for the winter and sleep with the window open. During summer I just use a duvet cover. -- Adrian |

One day, when there was about a foot of snow, I walked across to her wearing just a pair of shorts. The look on her face was priceless. It seems as I get older I find heat more difficult to cope with. -- Adrian |

My grandmother, and my mother-in-law, used to keep their homes uncomfortably war, as far as I was concerned. OTOH, my mother went to the extreme of moving from California to Alaska when she was 80. Getting away from hot summers wasn't her only reason, but it was one of them. I don't really know which extreme bothers me more. I think it's heat, especially combined with humidity, because there are usually more ways to get warm than to get cool. Joy |

Joy It's unlikely I will ever have to cope with excess heat, although we once had 30C here, however as my house faces west/east I didn't notice it. |

What does tog stand for? Combined with the number, it apparently relates to warmth, but I'm completely unfamiliar with the term. Joy |
