How we behave toward cats here below determines our status in heaven. Robert A. Heinlein

Moving

Claire has to move her class, and lack of organization of the company which takes care of it drives her nuts. Indeed, they didn’t really realize which quantity of equipment is in a class, and they don’t have enough boxes.

About twenty primary classes should have moved since June in a magnificent quite new school. But here is : the building could not be ended in time. Then the teachers stayed in their old schools, began the school year, and pack their equipment while they were teaching at the same time. Oh yeah, they also have to empty the boxes and tidy up their business between two journeys of the removal men as there are not enough boxes, for being able to fill them again !

We give moral support to her as best we can : courage, Claire, you have soon two weeks of holidays to tidy up your new classroom !

How to make a cat shelter for winter ?

We have beautiful sunny days, but for approximately two weeks, it’s clearly cooler in the morning : between 3 and 6℃ at 7 am (37-42℉). The heating is not on all the time, because it’s still 18 to 20℃ (64-68℉) out during the day. We have no fireplace, then sometimes it’s a little cold and damp in the house.

Our humans took out jackets and socks, and blankets did their appearance on the sofa again for watching TV in the evening. Zorro sleeps outside during the day, and this coolness doesn’t disturb him, but I decided to sleep under the spread to have a cosy and comfy spot !

Autumn has just begun, but these lower temperatures reminds us our friends who will soon have to spend the winter outside. The video of Cole et Marmalade shows you here how to make easily a cat shelter :

And you, how do you do to settle down softly in mid-season ?
