I'm trying to save on heating bills; so my house is about 60-65 degrees Fahrenheit most of the time. (15 degrees C.) I bundle up in a sweater; but I see the cats sit on fluffy things, tuck their paws in, and bunch up. I know this is a reaction to the cold; but is this their version of putting on a coat, or their version of saying, "I'm uncomfortable; turn the heat up"?
Weirdly enough, the cause of my economizing is the cats' vet bills... both cats ended up having to be rid of every parasite in the book, plus Tiny's neutering, plus Baby's ears! My mom used to turn the heat down all the time--I remember it being 50 degrees indoors--and we had a cat then, but I guess I didn't think about the cat...
Uh... so. Basically, is this a good idea? Or am I making my cats miserable?
