twenty-four june ninety eight eleven p m non-air-conditioned cats We have reached the point in the summer when the cats become resentful of the idea that there's only air conditioning in one room of the house. We'd let them in - we're not cruel, we believe in cold air for all - but cats are constitutionally opposed to closed doors. They may have been lying on the bed, completely motionless, for several hours, but as soon as you close the bedroom door they get nervous, and they get up and scratch on the door wanting to get out. You've cut off their exit, you see. Then they pound on the door wanting to get back in - it's twenty degrees hotter out there. We can't cool the whole house, so all summer long we have irate cats. Life's tough. © columbine |
