I thought it was getting a bit cold these nights and I said to Max about it. Now Max is a rather cold blooded fellow and he can feel cold in the middle of Summer so he wasn't a great deal of help.
Anyway the message must have got through to the two legs as the other evening as I was stretched out on the settee, she got on her hands and needs and fiddled with a gadget on this thing in the middle of the wall. All of a sudden it burst into flame and she stood back quite pleased with her achievement. He was stretched out in his chair and seemed equally happy.
Max had been upstairs seeking refuge beneath the duvet thing when he came trotting down and into the lounge straight past me and, plonk, there he was in front of this flame thing. Seb also came in and lay on the rug a little distance from the flames them I felt it. A surge of heat came from those flames and it was warming the room.
"what's all this?" I said to Max.
"Shut up and get a warm before it goes out."
"Where's it going? and what is it?" I asked in my usual inquisitive fashion.
"Fire, my little friend. They put it on in the cold time - well when THEY feel cold never mind how we feel. Last year they did ask me if I wanted it on once or twice but only once or twice. It should be on all the time and we could get warmed whenever we needed to" I could see this was one of Max's special moans - best not to interupt him when he is on a special moan trip.
I moved round to his side and he was roasting. His fur was reed hot.
"Oi you're keeping the warmth off me. get your own patch. This is mine!"
I knew better than to argue so I went and laid with Seb and wondered at how that heat suddenly came in. Looks like a nice Winter coming!
