Thanks for re-posting about cold dangers for animals Catherine. It's important that is at the forefront of anyone's minds in the winter. Not only domestic 'pets' either, but horses, cows, goats, other animals who spend their time mostly outside, need barns or shelters to go in and fresh straw.
I bought an oil-filled radiator for Sally-cat's room. It has made things in there so much nicer, so she has an alternative place to go when it is very cold and/or damp, other than her "polar bear bed".
Unfortunately, now all she wants to do is sit with her nose a quarter inch from it and has no inclination to do anything else! I am concerned about her eyes getting dry from it, or her burning her nose, but she doesn't seem to care, and I can't shift her away from it! I cannot block it, as it's meant to have free air circulation around it for safety reasons.
