The kittens know what to do when cold.
Rule number one is, snuggle up, preferably on a warm blanket.
Rule number two is, take advantage of any appliance that puts out heat, and the bottom of the refrigerator is perfect for that..
For those of you who are having ice storms and snow, keep warm, preferably by snuggling with an Aww of your own.

Awww indeed. Cats and kittens are smart. Yes they are.
ReplyDeleteHave a purrfect Awww Monday. ♥♥♥
cats are such pros at snuggling! Have a purrfectly splendid day!
ReplyDeleteWe had to put 'ole Smokey The (outside) Cat into the garage during yesterday's unexpected 12 inches of snow. GAH! But by 4pm he was clawing to get out. Apparently he wanted to go skiing. That's my best guess.
ReplyDeleterule one and two makes sence my late Harvey used to do both.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm party cat because I cuddle up to my refrigerator all year long.
ReplyDeleteI saw a t-shirt that was called a cat thermometer, it started with cat in a little ball at about 20-30, then had the cat stretch out more and more as it became warmer. Right now, Buzz would be curled so tight she would disappear!
ReplyDeleteCat (who has found nearly all the warm clothing she owns!)
Oh yes! We are definitely having snuggle weather here. But fortunately no ice storm or blizzard. I feel for those who are. Your kitties look warm!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely awww-worthy photos. Too sweet. And Stephen's comment made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteAww indeed!!
ReplyDeleteAnd while I can't exactly complain, it's even kinda chilly in San Diego!
