Angus snuggles with Samhain all the time, but I'm not sure I've seen him do it with any of the others, although he and Mystic play together all the time.<br /><br />Stay warm!

I have had a few *ahem* incidents with cat v. waterbed...and yes, the waterbed always loses. (Magic the Cat, I'm looking at you.) In theory, I've figured out how to prevent them. In reality, it is just a matter of time until I wake up in the middle of the night and say, "Why is my arm wet?"<br />Come visit!

I'm not visiting you until the temp is above 60, just so you know. :) I'm still relearning what temps below 60 indicate as far as how cold it actually is and what I need to wear out of doors. In the 40s, wearing down is perfectly reasonable.<br /><br />And your cats are so lovely! I'm amazed that both Angus and Samhain fit on that bitty bed on top of the stove! I'm amused that, instead of curling up together to maximize the heat, the four cats on the bed are as far from each other as possible!<br /><br />Please don't freeze!Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353637836935659079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5118905778148213851.post-9185239505487764292014-01-24T12:38:49.996-05:002014-01-24T12:38:49.996-05:00It was minus one this morning.

They look so comfy.<br /><br />I'm in South Florida and although it has been cooler than usual for January, it's now 67 at 11:00 and should reach 70 today. Cutting the grass yesterday was really pleasant and I'm off to buy some top soil to fill in some spots in the lawn. I'm enjoying this as come June and July, the heat and humidity make yard work a real chore.Cathy Mnoreply@blogger.com
