Ron is out grocery shopping.   I want to start going with him, and have a few times, but lately I am not up to it and there are things I need to take care of while he is shopping.  I was doing the dishes so he would have counters to put the groceries on when he got home.  Yes, I am tired.   But the funniest thing happened while I was doing them.

It has been cold on and off here in Florida during January and February.   This last few nights it has been around 46 degrees or lower at sunrise.   So before he goes to bed Ron turns the radiator on low with the temp dial about 72.  The heater we have in our bedroom bathroom heats both rooms and as I get up about every hour to pee, when it gets cool enough I turn it on.   Between the both of them they heat the main space and we keep the other doors closed until it warms up outside.   Also the electronics in the Pink Palace keep the room about 74 on the coldest nights so far.   I just have to remember to leave the computers up and running with the door closed.  

So to the point of the post, while I was doing the dishes Odie wanted food.  I gave it to him.  But Odie is older, we think at least 12 but more likely older, and not in the best health.  So while I went back to doing dishes after he finished eating, he went to the radiator heater that he often lays next to when it is running.  We have noticed that when it is active he will lay near it or against it.   He clearly loves the warm heat coming off it.  

So he finished eating, came out, stretched out next to the heater.  But no heat came out.   So he got closer.  Then he tried hitting it with his paw.  Finally, as I was rushing to get my phone, I saw him rubbing his face on the fins.  Yes even though the house was warm enough I gave in and turned on the radiator to the lower setting.  But that was not working fast enough for him and he was getting upset so I went over and activated the medium 1,600 watt setting.  That made it heat up fast enough and he laid back down next to it happy.  As he fell asleep, I turned it back to the lower watt setting.   Below is the pictures of our really spoiled fat cat.  Hugs.  Scottie
