Warm and cozy

Last night, even though it wasn't really cold out, we turned on the fire (it's gas). We take turns sitting on the hearth, soaking up the warmth. Toward the end of the evening, we realized we weren't the only ones enjoying the fire:


Chloe is around 13 or 14 years old. I got her in October 2001 and the rescue place estimated that she was one or two years old then. I always suspected she was closer to one because she was still so kittenish in her behaviors. Either way, she's getting up in years now and I think the warmth of the fire is soothing. I sometimes think she's getting arthritis, and if so then I'm sure the fire really feels good to her.

She's the first cat I've had that sleeps on her back. The boys do it too, but I've always suspected that maybe they learned it from her. They certain learned how to stretch from her: she stretches one hind leg back at a time (never seen another cat do that either).

I've had a number of cats who like to stretch one hind leg back at a time.
