Stupid question of the day - heating broken down - kitty OK?

Beautiful cat. He will be fine without heating, but if you are worried I could take him for a few days (no guarantee I'd give him back tho').

My heating keeps going off too...

My Asbo-cat is old now, I gave her my old down jacket that was too small for me as a bed on the sofa she usually uses as 'her' winter room . Loves it, will guard it to Z nation standard........... :rotfl: she's warm as toast now. :T.

It's a two person job - one to hold him firmly and one to clip. And it has to be followed up with a whole handful of Dreamies. :rotfl:

But as he's a kneader it's essential or my stomach gets covered in pin pricks!

Oh, and don't let his cuteness fool you. He is THE most affectionate cat with humans (wants attention ALL the time), but absolutely hates all other cats. In rescue, as a kitten, he was put in solitary because he kept attacking the other kittens! And the rescue won't home another cat to us while we have him.

Sadly, we've had to make him indoor-only as another tom moved in next door a year ago and after six months of being at the vet every 3-4 weeks to have fight wounds patched up, we just couldn't let him out any more. He loves to fight but he always loses (dozy thing!) and gets hurt. On balance, he's a cat who doesn't mind staying in (I know some won't tolerate it at all), we give him lots of attention and play, and I'd have felt terrible if he got more seriously hurt.

So, yes, this is our big horrible bully cat:

My cat is also a kneader but she uses her scratching post a lot so her claws aren't too bad.

I've been keeping her indoors since a bull mastiff moved in next door. :eek: Currently considering the pros and cons of catproofing my garden.

My cats have always been fine without heating. One will sleep under the duvet and the other sleeps in the airing cupboard behind the hot water tank where she has made a bed.

They often find a spot on the floor to sleep on, either in a shaft of sunlight or where a hot water pipe runs under the floor boards.

I don't have proper central heating and my house if often cold and the cats are always fine. When they come downstairs they always feel quite warm so obviously find somewhere nice to sleep.
