We had some pretty chilly nights the last weeks, in the 0~5°C range, so Siegfrieda is often asking to be covered. And by "asking" I mean: she stares me, scratching her blanket, and sometimes meowing, until I grab her blanket and cover her. It's a mix of cute and annoying, because she sometimes gets too hot so she leaves her blanket, only to ask again five minutes later.
And sometimes she finds smart ways to control her own temperature, like this:
She's also visibly happy when I go sleep - it's like she got a huge self-heating pillow (my body). I don't mind cuddling, so it's a win-win.
In the meantime, Kika (who gives no fucks about weather) reacted to the winter in a different way: she still hates cuddling, but she's clearly more needy. Her "mrrown-own?" = "pet me! pet me!" has become more frequent. I even left a chair near my desk, just for her - within my arm's reach.
Since I posted Frieda's pic, might as well share my old lady Kika:
She's currently spending so much time on the chair people have joked I found a translation reviewer.
