It snowed on Zip’s back porch chair today. We put a new and dry cushion on it, and he went to sleep for four or five hours. This is Zip’s favored place for sunlight daytime napping. At night, I’m still determining where he is, either in the woodshed or in his heated cat house, which he is fond of.

This is a cat who loves his freedom. I love how cats curl into a ball and sleep almost anywhere. I feel Zip in the sunlight. His coat soaks up heat and is warm.
