No Heat

Posted on | October 20, 2009 | No Comments

We’ve had a cold snap in the mid-Atlantic region. We also discovered that the furnance doesn’t work in our new house. Sure, we could have it serviced every 2 weeks through the winter, or we could use the new home-owner tax credit we got to buy a new furnance. We opting for choice #2. But that means getting estimates and pouring over customer reviews.

To all that, our 16-year-old cat Mia says:

And I agree.

So, we bought a few electric space heaters to go along with our four cats, who act as space heaters with the added bonus of “cat gravity,” a phenomenon that make the cats laying on top of the covers four times heavier than the mass of the sun, and twice as hot.

Here are some cute cat pictures of Mia, Hermes (orange), and Titan (grey) to illustrate the process.

The only picture missing is an action shot of me flailing and struggling to get some free space on the bed in the middle of the night, which is another story in itself.
