Maybe a low of 40°F does not seem that cold to you east coast kitties, but I am a southern California cat with thin fur. I have been parked by the floor heater nonstop for days. I blame my human. She does not like the cold either, so you would think she would do something about getting the sun back out. Slacker.

See all of Summer’s merch at her Designercat Shop, available on Zazzle.
It’s like 20 here! Man! Ohio is closer to the North Pole than we thought!
ah! my cats are by the heater ALL THE TIME too.
You need a fireplace! And QUICK!
Oh, we have a fireplace, it just doesn’t work – like most fireplaces in southern California.
Sparkle, I finally received the bookmark. Many thanx. Advice on back has been heeded.
I soooo agree with you, I can’t take the cold at all. I try to sit in front of this tiny little electric space heater when on the computer, but the rest of the day it’s way too cold. Looking forward to summer!!
Sparkle don’t wimp out on us. Come see how much fun playing in the snow can be.
It’s 33 deg. here w/huge snowflakes falling out of the sky. I’m no interested in watching them. I’m interested in have Spring back and open windows.
We are cold, too! Mom keeps the house a little warmer since she has been on Coumadin, but not enough to please us!
Spring is surely coming, Sparkle, but not soon enough for us chilly kittycats.

Maybe you can talk your mom into putting some soft, warm cozy blankets around the house for you…stay warm Sparkle!
We agree, 40 is cold! We are lucky we live in Florida, we do at least get some sun and can sit outside and warm up for a while, but we still prefer mom’s bed for keeping warm. 🙂
Fur heater…Ha!
You know…I’m a little bit tired about all that white stuff outside! hehehe and I miss the sun as well!
As is still cold here I think it’s time for another nap.
Happy 2011 dear friend!
Lots of love
and purrs

My cats don’t like the cold either, except Kim with her long hairs, they are all waiting for spring and warmer weather !
I think I’d rather have the cold,we have yucky humidity here…
I don’t blame you. I’m still not myself since all of that white stuff we received a week ago.
You should not have to suffer so! It’s a crime, that’s what it is, a crime! What’s all this cr@p about global “warming” anyway, huh?
Sparkle, we had sunbeams today but it was still FREEZING! Stay warm!
Oh, Sparkle, Victor huddles by the vents, waiting for the hot air to turn on. I just snuggle in the down comforter on the bed. Mom got an iPod, as you read in our post, but Dad got an iPad. He says it’s for his work. Victor managed to turn it on, but Dad won’t let us play with it… yet. Purrs!
We have floor vents. And we are often on them at night. The moving air is annoyin, but the warmth is great. We KNOW what ya mean.
look at it this way, it is going to get warmer for you A LOT faster than it is going to get warmer for US!! 🙂
We don’t like the cold either and it’s been in the 30s here but at least we have sun for the time being. Mother Nature is catering too much to dogs lately.
What?! You mean it’s the dogs’ fault? Figures.
40 is pretty cold. Our mom doesn’t like the cold either, but for some reason she is keeping the heat set to just above freezing! Thank goodness for heated throws and space heaters.
Sparkle
It’s been cold like that here in Florida too..we’ve been huddled by the heater too.
purrin
xoxox
You have the right idea standing in front of that heater, Sparkle!! Maybe you need a kitty sized Snuggie?
That’s bad but who move the sun ?
: )
Did yous try the other side of the house? Sometimes that works. But it is cold here too. Mommy and Daddy has draft dodgers at the bottom of them, my favorite place is the hot metal things in the floor that blow hot air!
Nellie
We agree! It snowed in the valley today, ICK! We scream at Mommy until she presses the button on the box that makes the heaty monster run. She’s been pressing it a LOT lately.
Happy New Year from all of us!!
Mindy, Moe, BonBon, Cookie & Mike
I think you are smart. I hate cold…
Not just cold but too rainy! We hear the sun is supposed to be shining here today, Sparkle. Maybe you will get some down there too.
Unfortunately, there are some things even we humans cannot control. Best just to stay inside near your heater for now. Although, I’d trade your 40 deg. for our below freezing any time!
Buck up, beauty!
Ha! It’s been below zero at night in our part of the world.
And it snowed yesterday.
Harumph!
We understand how you feel! Of course it’s far colder for us now, but everything is relative — it’s all in what you’re used to.
Actually, they had turned the heat off in mom’s building over the holidays, and it sure doesn’t feel like it’s back on yet. Nothing at all from the radiator. Brrrr!
Maybe she can borrow your heater? 😛
We went from the mid 20s to the mid 60s back to the mid 20s. Burr fur sure!
We’ve been spending our days curled up in our kitty beds! Our mom person is pretty cheap and she barely heats the house! whaaa?

Very cold here too. We feel your pain, Sparkle. But we think maybe – just maybe – your Mom should get a pass this time. Just ask Fin how much the Sun listens!
Sparkle we sympathise with you feeling cold – it hasn’t got above freezing here yet today and as mum says “it’s brass monkeys” whatever that means!!
Sparkle, you need to get to training that Mom of yours to bring that sun out and warm things up. I guess there are some things that the hoooomans just can’t do. That heater looks like it does the job. Stay warm.
We doesn’t have a floor heater like you do, but we has the furnace turned up because we’re freezing here too.
Goodness, Sparkle–I don’t think your human can help on the sun–so she may not be a slacker in this case, unless she doesn’t hike up the HEAT. Humans so care about heating bills…*SIGH** Maybe they should grow their own coat…

Sweet Sparkle, thank you for helping us celebrate our mama’s birthday today.
We are purring that it will warm up at your house.
xxxxxxxx
That looks like a cozy heater! Here in south Florida, it got into the 30s at night last week. We are not used to that, either! I got a heated cat pad a few weeks ago and I spend hours on it.
If your human figures out a way to get the sun back out, let our mom know. We’ve been seriously lacking some sun lately too.
Oh dear, I know your pain. But radiators are ‘da bomb!
We hate being cold too ~ bring on Mr Sunshine!
I sympathize with 40 degrees. In Florida, that seems like below zero. Stay by that heater, Sparkle. This too shall pass.
pawhugs, Max
The temperature here has been reaching 40 – 42F the last few days and it feels quite warm after the cold weather we were having. Mum can understand you being cold though because she says it always feels freezing here when she comes back from her October/ November holidays.
