Today in New York, the temperature in the morning was 26 degrees, the first time this year that it has dipped below 40. We have a sunroom with a heated floor. The cats decided it was a good day to stay inside in the sunroom on blankets in baskets, with warmth rising all around them.
The first shot is with the Nokton 1.2, which I am trying out. The second is with the Sony 35 1.4, which I am trying out for the second time. Peter, until I saw your pictures I wouldn't have believed that any cat could have a more pleasant and comfortable life than mine. I certainly won't inform her that there is such a place as a sunroom with a heated floor.
Yes, Jonathan--they really move in for the cold weather. My wife calls it the cat beach. We started with two cats, a brother and a sister abandoned to the local vet where we take our dog. Then a couple of years later the gray cat walked out of the woods across the street, covered in debris, and clearly a pet who had gotten very lost or been abandoned. He scarfed up a bowl of food without pausing for breath and of course then stayed very close. We tried hard to find his home or a new home, but without success so he is ours. The brother in the first pair has never made real peace--just an armistice--with the new male, bu they all share the cat beach together, in close proximity, as soon as the floor turns on.
