I’ve been hearin’ that the U.S. East coast is freezing their ‘tocks off. This one’s for you!
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Sarah C.! [snuggling closer to you]
mmm warm kitty
Mmmmmm. Toasty.
Aaaaaahhhhhh, lookit the comfy orange glow on the front of the kitteh….it’s turning his snowy-looking fur warm!
Cats really DO know how to go after the comfort, don’t they? LOL!
My pup and I could have used one of these last night. Brrr!
Huh? We are? I’m in Maryland and it’s 40 degrees right now. Then again, maybe I’m too far south to be considered east coast… I guess this is mid-Atlantic.
And that cat looks totally blissed out.
It’s blazing here. I need some chillin’!
Kitteh is getting ready for summer by working on its tan. That winter white belly look just won’t make it down at the beach.
Really Kitteh a tan is infra dig.
Its gales and rain in the U.K.
I’m in Maine and it’s fifteen degrees at noon. It was minus seven when I got up. Plus my heater broke this morning and the building is about 50 degrees and dropping.
I meant to add that my kittehs are nice and warm in their fur jackets!
I’m sure that thing is great to have, but it sure looks kinda scary! Big and glowing hot-reminds of my fear of hair dryers when I was little (the switch on ours would get caught between functions and the coils would glow redder and redder like it was gonna asplode…freak-out!)
Glad it makes fluffy kitty happy and warms, tho…
My kitties would so do that. They used to love it when the radiator had a shelf on top of it that they could sit on.
Ok, I’m showing my age here, but remember the dryers that looked like a suitcase, and you hooked a hose to a hat and put it on your head to dry your hair in curlers??? Well, Bertram (he had white long hair) had all kinds of poopy issues as a kitten. So he would get bathed in strawberry shampoo and then stuck in the dryer hat with his little kitty head sticking out and come out looking like a white cotton ball.
This looks like a scene from “Poltergeist.” The fan starts glowing and the kitteh is enraptured….”Come towards the light, kitteh!”
See, I’m in California, so I have no concept of having to make myself “warm.”
Yes, Meg, we ARE freezing, THANK YOU!!!!
Happiness is a warm butt! Or face, i suppose…
Weird glowing alien creature: Take me to your leader.
Kitteh: I is him.
Happy to be living in Hawaii where we don’t have any of this silly “winter” business!
But there were many nights in Chicago I’d be right where this floofy kitty is! Extreme joy is found in space heaters.
16″ and counting in Columbus OH. I would be warm if my dog would not sleep on the heating vent…thank godness for comforters and flannel sheets!!!
i love the paws.
LOL Sandra, I remember those! Long gone before I had a kitteh who needed drying though.. but my last kitteh would come in from rain and demand to be blow-dryed, which I was glad to do so he wouldn’t get everything wet (long fur, like a sponge).
It is COLD here at the top of Virginia – 27 degrees this morning. I envy the kitty!
Spring kinda got lost on the way here, I think.
Haha, that kitty has the right idea. They do love to find that source of heat and plop themselves by it. My cats take to sleeping in my closet because that’s where the hot water tank is located (ask the building mgmt why it’s there).
Rule of thumb: when your whiskers are singed, you’re sitting too close.
It’s actually pretty nice today in Northern Virginia. It’s a gloomy, but otherwise “warm” 45 degrees. I say “warm” because here during the winter, “warm” means any temperature that isn’t freezing your ‘tocks off.
My furnace quit a few weeks back, and for 3 days I watched my cat Josephine lie so close to the space heater, you could see her fur move in the breeze. If we could have videotaped it clearly enough, we would have sent it in to share the joy.
25F this morning in Michigan. Brrrr….
In our house, one kitteh curls up rightnextto the fire, so close we have to move him for fear of fur singe. The other kitteh says fire DO NOT WANT and sits a safe distance away to watch it but won’t come in the same room. When will spring come?
I’m FREEZING MY TOCKS OFF. Move over, kitty, lemme share in ur warmthz!
wow, my cat loves warm spots in the house, but she can’t stand wind on her face. it’s such a sore spot that if i have people over that don’t like cats or are allergic, i tell them to just lightly blow air on her face if she tries to sit in their lap (she’s a lap-seeking missile). one little puff of air and she is so out of there.
I’m still sore from all the shoveling (NW of Toronto)…but I feel warmer look at that picture already. Happiness is a heater…and a warm kitteh!
Yeah, is niceeee….
We used to do this at residential when it was cold – which was at around 65 degrees… eating disorder treatment, you get way cold all the time… We’d turn on the little space heater dish thing and gather around it. The staff took it away around mid-June, which was LAME, even if we were in Reno, NV.
Warm snuggly kitteh! Gimme!
my kitty is stretched out in the Montana sun beam watching the snow drifts meltin’.
It’s 80 degrees here in Los Angeles – sorry, peeps!
I wonder about this picture: I think the kitteh has met its equal in yeem-osity.
and my family thinks my pre-WW2 heaters are unsafe. mine look warmer too.
That’s gonna make a weird tan line.
Both my girls are heat seekers. I often have to battle them for blankets. I made the mistake once of leaving my heating pad out after using it… and had to do battle with both of them to get it back.
Is that an electric blanket that the kitty is sitting on? (I swear I see a cord!) How COLD is it there??
This reminds me of my kitties when I was growing up. we only had fireplace/woodstove heat, and while it always scared me the kittehs would sleep under the wood stove. :-O never so much as a singed whisker though…
Pretty chilly here in Vermont too (teens); ice everywhere! My kitties are soaking up the heat from the hot-air vents, which is great for them and bad for us. It does make them extra-warm and floppy for hugging purposes though.
I have a shorter heat dish like that and let me tell you, those babies really put out some heat when they are turned up like that. Form experience, that one is actually a bit close to the kitteh and the chair, but I assume the photog had it all under control.
My cat would come in from outside in the winter and back his butt right up to the one we had to warm up. I’ve decided not to use mine anymore as I consider it quite a fire hazard, but when you are really cold, you can point that dish right where you want concentrated heat and get all toasty. I switched to electric radiator and it heats the whole room, not just frying the poor person right in front of it. My kitteh thinks I bought it just for him and sits against the side.
This kitteh does look sooo blissful!
Ah-HEM! Let us not forget us Canadians, especially here in Toronto, who’s ‘tocks have also been successfully frozen off – then buried under 2 feet snow…(that would be 60 centimetres!) My kittehs start to get mao-y if the heating pad they sleep on gets cold.
It’s 23 degrees here in NH, and the snow has turned into concrete. Enough of the snow and ice. Even I had to crank up the heat in my hedgehog’s heating pad so that she would be warmer. Cat has the right idea!
LOL @ charliewabba!!
Here in Philly, not too bad….made it to the mid 40′s yesterday!
At home in IL, there’s one particular spot in my living room that is just above the basement furnace. All of mine LOVE to sleep there—even the dog will try to “annoy” whoever’s there by giving them the old “cold nose” so HE can curl up!
My wonderful kitty Kitter (RIP) would crawl into the fireplace if I would let her. She would lay so close I worried she would spontaneously set ablaze. Touching her…hot hot hot! Happy kitty, though…
DKN, my bunny agrees with your first statement. She’s always sitting on the heating vents!
Kitteh, I too know what hot flashes can do!
LOL at the roll over. IT does look like it is collecting yeems. when it is full it will be a dangerous WMD.
Ahhhh heat…I can hear the purring from hear!
That looks like one cozy kitty!
It was 61 here today, and Yitzy sat in the open window (screened) enjoying the fresh air ruffling his furs.
reminds me of that movie, Sunshine
