Farm Jourmal, Gray Morning, Friday, January 19, 2024. Zip Is Happy In His Warm Cat House

by Jon Katz

It’s a gray morning; I went driving to capture the feeling.

This morning, I’m off to the Mansion for my meditation class; I think we’ll talk about deep breathing as a way to curb anxiety and loneliness. I saw the sun peeking out from behind the clouds, trying to break into the open.

Zip loves his new heated cat house. He showed up late for our morning meeting.

More later.


The mountains felt closer than usual today. These are the Green Mountains of Vermont. Our town borders with Vermont.

Zip is happy to be in his new heated cat house. He was late to our morning meeting, I thought he might sleep through it.

  1. an old farmer once told me to devise a flap of cloth, or flexible plastic, to help hold in the heat of any coops, doghouses, etc, and I did this for my chickens….

  2. Cats are notorious heat lovers. My cats used to lie so close to the fire in the fireplace I was worried they’d singe their hair!

  3. how is your heated cat box actually heated? How do you prevent it catching fire (assuming your heating method could cause a fire)?
