Recently one of my cats has disappeared at nap time. I have a small house with limited hidey-holes, so I had a good look. My rack of cookie pillows is in a corner near a heat register. The back half of the bottom pillow had a strange black mound -- yes, my cat. The pillow is well wrapped in a carry cloth so he can't bother anything on the pillow. And disappearing like that is driving the other cat nuts. This extended very cold weather has both cats seeking out the warmest places in the house -- usually in front of a heater or heat register. Or on my lap if I sit down. I have to dump them off in order to make lace. I just don't have enough lap room to hold a cat or two, AND a lace pillow. Our temperatures haven't been above freezing for 3 days now. That's supposed to break starting tomorrow, and by Wednesday we're supposed to be above 50F with heavy rain. We'll go from snow and ice to floods. The past month has seen four snow storms, plus rain or freezing rain in between. I haven't seen weather like this for decades. I've spent a lot of days confined indoors, and can see progress on my lace project. There's lots to do in my house to keep busy when snowed-in, but I really look forward to spring with warmer weather and more daylight.
