Toasty Kitties
Last night we lit the first fire of the season, and the first fire of Mac, Sunny’s and maybe Mowie’s lives. Sunny usually lays on the brick so we expected him to love it. Mowie frequently lays in front of the vent when the heat is blowing so we expected her to be a fan as well. Mac doesn’t stay still long enough to notice anything, so we expected him to be playing with his toys.
As Mike started the fire, the usually well behaved Sunny was nosey and wanted in. Once it was started he stood with his nose against the mesh thingy. He stood like that for about 15 minutes, just staring into the fire. Just watching him hurt my eyes, and made me hot. Mac had the same reaction, although he wasn’t as persistant. He stuck his nose through the little fence for a few minutes, then ran away to play. Mowie didn’t even know there was a fire.. she’s too grown up for those curious kitten antics.
When the new-ness of the fire died down, it was Macky who layed in front of it and passed out. Yes, Macintosh was actually sleeping, and for more than 5 minutes. He was so happily sprawled out and caught up on some sleep he’s been missing for the past 7 months or so. Sunny layed in front of the fire for bits at a time, I think he was getting too hot. He does have that overly fluffy coat on, afterall. Mowie even spent some time lounging, after the kittens walked away of course. She wouldn’t want them to know they shared interests.

sounds like a good time. we have had a fireplace 7 years and its never once been lit acucae the beans are scared of fired and us in it. we just use it as a place to be to get in trouble which we do often in there.
