Weekend Open Thread

Cold enough for you? Well, it’s cold enough for reader Tracy R. and her cat Hamster:

Here’s Hamster making a point that it’s rather chilly (he’s lying in the spot where the heat comes out of the vent). Just so everyone knows that I’m not torturing the cat by turning down the heat: I hate cold as much as Hamster, and the thermostat is set at eighty degrees. Yes, eighty. And me and Hamster are still a bit chilly!

cat with light fur and a striped tail lays on the floor near an ornate wooden chest. The chest is partially covering a heating grate.
Um, could somebody move this chest so I can sit ON the vent?

Bed Buddy

Even with a comfy quilted bed nearby, this kitten knows that Buddy is the better bed because: 1. Buddy is self-heating, and 2. a bed can never be inconvenienced by having a cat sitting on it.

The Chromatic Husky Scale

To help readers understand the many variances in husky coloring, we have prepared the chromatic husky scale, which ranges from pure white to brownish grey. This should not be confused with the dramatic husky scale, which ranges from “awooo get away from me with those nail clippers you’re trying to cut my legs off I just know it!” to “awooo don’t put me in that bathtub it’s full of acid and zombie piranha fish I just know it!”
