13Jan24: Andy’s surprising skills!

Andy had his fill of Greenies, for now. Even Andy can feel a treat isn’t a treat when you get too many at once!

He settled down on the recliner. Maybe there’s something on television of interest to a kitty…!

“Nothing on the television -‘me-uws’ I think Doug calls it.” A short bath is in order.

“What!? What!?”

 Andy hears something…or is it that he sees one of those “ghost thingies” cats are well-known to see so creepily….

“Don’t get dramatic, Douglas! Even I know it snowed and blew last night. That’s the snow removal guy and he’s working in -12 degrees F/ -24.4 degrees C weather to make sure you can get to your car and not get stuck.” 

“Are you sneaking looks at the weather on my smartphone, Andrew? You seem to be more specifically weather-aware than a wee kitty should be. I’m impressed with your math skills as well, my cat, and that you correctly converted Fahrenheit to Celsius for the benefit of most of the world readers who live in the smarter metric zone. “

Maybe there’s something on the ‘me-uws”…”

Andy ignored the smartphone weather question and math skills observation, but cats are reputed to be sneaky, eh?

=(^+^)=

Ugh! I’m glad I don’t have any reason to get out today! The weather report doesn’t suggest much better times ahead, but I’ll deal with that when I have no choice.

  1. I agree that the metric system makes more sense but when it comes to temperature, I like Fahrenheit because the numbers are closer together. In my house, there is a noticeable difference between 74 and 75. If my thermostat only had Celsius, I wouldn’t be able to fine tune it enough.

    • There is that! I imagine metric temperature controllers have expanded markings, with more lines between whole temperatures. Maybe someone knows for a fact.

  2. It has been brutally cold up there, Doug! I’m glad you don’t need to go out. I much prefer the English or Imperial system we use, the metric system is very confusing to me. Andy is wise to ignore the mews, I mean news.

        • It is killer weather, the reason I ordinarily wouldn’t get out in it. I can’t reschedule dialysis, so am stuck getting out in the weather, come rain or shine. If an appointment lands in weather like this, I don’t hesitate to reschedule!

    • Bitter, bitingly so! I barely was in the cold, just long enough to go to my car and put my walker in the back – and my fingers were numb. I’m glad my car heats up fast.

  3. Yikes, -12! Good thing Andy has that plush long fur! I can’t imagine coping with temps like that! We’re getting some sub-freezing weather next next over the next few days and I’m dreading it.

    • Many things are possible. When I was little, I could fly if I ran into the wind and extended my “wings” outwards! Then someone told me little boys can’t fly. My days as a bird boy ended in that instant. I never told that person I could levitate if I closed my eyes and thought hard! LOL!
