Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Gus’ Room

During the winter, Gus sleeps on the couch. I think that’s mostly because of the space heater I point at the his spot all winter long. During the summer, my whole house is kind of warmish.

I run my bedroom air conditioner at night, so it’s freezing cold in my room. In the morning, I open the door and let the cool air run out. Denis does the same. The two roomfuls of freezing air are enough to keep the house cool until early afternoon, at which time I often turn on the air conditioners in both rooms and let the cool air spill down the stairs for a few hours until bedtime, when the doors are closed and the bedrooms become frosty again.

During the day, the upstairs rooms can get pretty warm. That makes them Gus’ favorite rooms. And of all the rooms upstairs, he loves Denis’ room the best. Denis has accepted his fate as Gus’ daytime host. In fact, Gus has his own blanket on Denis’ bed. During the day, it’s Gus’ room.

Denis removes his pillows during the day because Gus was leaning against them and leaving oil spots.

    Awwww, Denis is kind to share his room with that poor, chilly cat. Thank you, Denis! (I actually like the look of the bed without pillows. It’s very minimalist. Hmmm… Do I have to get a hairless cat to achieve the look?)

    Max should LOVE this week, as the temp is predicted to hover around 90 degrees for quite some time. Denis earns my respect for agreeing to this comensal relationship – well done, sir.

    Max Ned Gus is especially photogenic on the fleecy navy blanket – ready for a PlayCat magazine photo op!

    I so approve of your house cooling technique – it’s got to save energy without making any individuals miserable. [We wait with baited breath for the robocall from BGE today telling us how much we saved during Peak Rewards Day yesterday. (We purposely did not eat a warm meal so the electric stove or oven were not involved from 1-7 p.m. – let’s see if that had any impact at all…)]
