Is she trying to tell me something?

I have a small fireplace in my apartment. It has a mesh draw-screen.
Persia doesn't mess with the fireplace. She likes to lay in front of it on
a pillow and watch the flames, but mostly she ignores it.

It rained all day yesterday and this morning is drizzly and misty. The
temperatures are still close to 60F (that's 14C). They are predicting it
could drop down to 34F 1C) tonight or tomorrow night. So I brought in more
firewood to dry out on the hearth. Persia watched this with great interest.

I came into my 'office'. Shortly after I heard the distinctive CLUNK of the
fireplace flue clattering open. I went into the living room. Persia was
sitting next to the fireplace. The mesh screen was still closed, but she
didn't even run off when it clanged open.

Did she use her catly powers to indicate she wants me to light a fire?
Hmmmm.

Sure sounds that way :-).

Felix once led me to the VCR and meowed while staring up at it. The
video for "Cats" was lying on the VCR at the time. I picked up the
video and asked him, "Do you want me to play this?", and I swear he
nodded! I did play it for him, of course. :-)
