Francis has a new name

I have hot water heat and the boiler isn't big enough for three cats to lay
on but, they do. I think they have a way of hanging onto each other so they
don't fall off.

Ah yes....Worshipping the Heat God. All our cats do that. It's a
wonder any heat ever gets into the room...

Well, now the weather is turning colder, I've taken to lighting a
coal/wood fire in the hearth. It's quite lovely of an evening. Vernon
& sit there, have a glass of wine.. watch a film... talk... the cats
curl up nearby.

So I'm sat there, in front of a roaring fire, sipping a glass of some
nicely chilled fermented juice of grape. Francis wanders in the room,
sees the fire, walks over me to get to the front of the hearth. He is
standing about a foot from the fire, soaking up the heat, eyes closed
in bliss. Then I notice smoke. The smoke is not coming from the fire.
The smoke is coming from Francis. The side of him facing the fire has
smoldering fur. I move Francis out of the way. I get the feline look
of death. Francis tries to get back to where he was sitting in front
of the fire. Obviously he is not content with a mere smolder... Talk
about a cat that likes heat on a cold late autumn evening! He is not
best pleased that I have removed him...



Cats............ not the musical

And effectively preventing the heat from reaching their humans?

Poor Francis. He's such a character. Chasing chickens and immolating
himself.

"Chasing chickens"? Isn't he the cat who seems to think he IS a chicken?

That would be the second benefit (from the cat's point of view) LOL

Great story! I'm so glad to hear Francis is doing so well.
