ONE OF THE very few drawbacks to the glass curtain that wraps the terrace is the fact that a window has to be open if we want to use the heat in the apartment (to avoid a vacuum). With the recent rains, and winds that constantly change direction, that's not always a good idea. So, we've been using the portable space heater from my office as needed in the living room when we watch TV. And, wherever the heat goes, so goes Dudo. Moose keeps his distance; I think because he has more meat on his bones.
UNO DE LOS pocos inconvenientes de la cortina de cristal que envuelve la terraza es el hecho de que una ventana debe estar abierto si queremos utilizar el calefacción en el piso (para evitar el vacío). Con las lluvias recientes y los vientos que cambian constantemente de dirección, esa no siempre es una buena idea. Entonces, hemos estado usando el calentador portátil de mi oficina cuando es necesario en la salón cuando miramos la televisión. Y, donde va el calentador, así va Dudo. Moose mantiene su distancia; creo que es porque él tiene más carne en sus huesos.

| AND ONCE AGAIN IN MY OFFICE. Y OTRA VEZ EN MI OFICINA. |

| ANOTHER DAY: YES, DUDO, I'M LOOKING AT YOU. OTRO DÍA: SI, DUDO, TE ESTOY MIRANDO. |

I love that cat!! He doesn't even sit down and relax. He means business! As if His life depends on it!
ReplyDeleteKMoff:
DeleteHe can sit at attention like that for more than a half hour. It's bizarre.
When I saw the thumbnail of the picture in my reader, I thought you took a picture of a heavy woman from the side bent over......only to find it was the sofa arm!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI see both cats are hot house flowers.
mistress maddie:
DeleteI looked at it in my reader and you're so right. Dudo parks himself forever at the space heater and yet I just had to drag him in from a dark and chilly terrace. Go figure!
D. knows where he's appreciated, even if it's by something inanimate.
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteCan you tell I'm in love with him. I've got some new shots I can't wait to share. Poor those who don't like cats!
I love those guys!
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteSo do I, as you can tell. I have never been so attached ... well, except to Jerry.
daddy's handsome boyz love the warmth of the sun! (I think there's a song title there...)
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteThe Beach Boys! (Not the daddy's handsome boyz part.)
You can use the heater to keep Dudo where you want him. Moose, on the other hand . . . .
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteThe minute Dudo saw what I was doing, he'd do something different.
Love that he puts his paws right under it - so cute. It's not your space heater, it's his
ReplyDeleteCheachick:
DeleteEverything is his. He sometimes allows Jerry to use his desk chair.
Gosh how I love that kitty :)
ReplyDeleteOptimistic:
DeleteI'm so glad. Gives me an excuse to share more pictures (and I've got more today)!!!
It's almost like he's behind bars in that one photo.
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteYou're right. But he doesn't want to be released.
Tuxedo, on cold mornings, sits in front of a heating vent on the living room,
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with Kirk about Jailbird Dudo!
Bob:
DeleteI'll bet our boys would get along well. And I too agree with Kirk.
Oh these are marvelous photos!
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteThanks. I should probably have had a separate cats blog. I have hundreds (thousands) of photos.
Dudo has his priorities straight, I see.
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteDUDO is his own priority.
I don't understand about the vacuum... what kind of heat do you have? My vacuum produces heat when I use it, but I don't use it enough to heat the house. And I can avoid it easily enough by sticking it in a closet and forgetting it's there. But seriously, folks, why does your heat produce a vacuum?
ReplyDeleteWalt the Fourth:
DeleteI tried using the microwave to heat the house. It did nothing. Our vacuum cleaner makes it impossible to hear the TV... We've got individual wall units (heat and AC) in each room. And they each in turn have their own condensers on the terrace that need good circulation around them.
Ah, see? It was the condensers on the terrace that were the missing information. Now I get it. Got it? Good. ;)
DeleteMaybe I am part cat, sitting by the heat looks like a nice idea.
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteJerry agrees. I don't use it much.
Cats often don't seem to care if they're in the way. My inlaws old cat used to sit on a gameboard and didn't know why everyone was yelling at him to go away
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteCats know exactly what they're doing. Ooh, that game board is getting ALL the attention.
