I'm starting to believe that Duchess' meteorological radar is broken. It was 5C (41F) this morning and yet she wanted out and hasn't been asking for her hot pad.
@gardencat During winter, I warm it for her before I eat breakfast. If she doesn't have it by the time I'm eating, she'll come and basically sit in my oatmeal. For years, she has started acting like this, when the weather gets colder.
:D
