Hello Kitten

If you slice them thinly enough they shred quite nicely. Alternatively, one could slice them lengthwise and make a rug.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 11:50

Ah yes, and then you could wear it and thereby solve all your winter heating problems.

How's the weather with you today, by the way?

kitten · Sep 17 06 11:54

It's overcast, and judging by the cat's fur it is drizzling slightly. I haven't been out to experience it.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 11:56

Dull here too but warm. Not drizzling as yet, just unpleasantly humid..

kitten · Sep 17 06 12:01

We don't have the heat any more, but Kaycee just came back in and he was quite wet this time. The rain must have stepped up its efforts. Not tempted to go out and experience it first-hand. I'll continue to use the cat as my rain gauge.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 12:03

One thing you can be sure of is that he's a good heat gauge as well. Ever noticed in winter how a cat can find the place where one sunbeam has made an appearance for all of half a second?I'm always amused by the fact that cats will automatically home in on the warmest part of the room possible, and then blithely go out on a freezing night as though it were midsummer.

I coan't understand why Kaycee likes being out in the rain at all. Spooky would dash inside shaking himself vigorously at the first drop of rain. Then he made a beeline for the middle of the bed to dry himself off. But yes, they do love the sun.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 12:10

No I can't understand why Kaycee likes going out in the rain, however he's young so maybe it's just paert of the learning process. He has, however, learned the art of comfortable drying.

kitten · Sep 17 06 12:11

The best way for him to dry off is to rub against my pant leg....instant towel.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 12:12

Hey, do you mean he brushes against one of your foibles?

kitten · Sep 17 06 12:14

No, no, I keep those in the closet where he can't sharpen his claws on them.

Gopher · Sep 17 06 12:15

That's a pity, he could have shredded them for you!

kitten · Sep 17 06 12:17

I don't want him to hurt his claws. He needs to save them for unwelcome guests.

Gopher · Sep 18 06 11:20

Oh yes, those which threaten to invade your bed - I forgot, thanks for reminding me.

kitten · Sep 18 06 11:22

Actually, so had I. I was referring to the bipeds that disturb my comfort unnecessarily.
