Cold Pack Confrontation

So Furiends, as I have complained ad nauseam about the hots, today I will not complain at all! (The Human might want to, though.)  At left is that spendy cooling pad that the Human shelled out a lot of green papers for. I inspected it carefully and thoughtfully, and then walked away. I was scooped up like a sack of potatoes and re-placed on it several times, but the outcome was always the same. Sometimes it takes her awhile to absorb a lesson. 
Later, she wrapped an ancient $2.99 cold pack in an old hand towel and let me have that. And it was purrfect.

Of course you prefer the old cheapie, Spitty. Maybe if she wrapped the spendy pad in an old towel it would be more appealing.

Sometimes the simple things are the best.

She should have thought of the cold pack and towel in the first place! Sounds awesome, and when we go back to therapy cat work, my human may use that idea for traveling with me during the next heat wave.

This continues to be absolutely sensational work by you Spitty. I imagine that you might have been just the tiniest bit tempted by the spendy cold pad, but it's so worth it to score big points by walking away and settling down on the old, cheap number. This is a case study for younger kits everywhere - I suggest you film a short video and get it loaded up on YouTube for the little 'uns everywhere to learn from.

They grow in age and slow in slow in smarts Spitty. You would think after a few months they would know we like a towel

Stacy Hurt said...

Agreed. A towel is a must so the initial shock of the cool isn't overmuch. My furry don't like to be on cool surfaces but that Shio? She sleeps in the sink! The sink I tell you! I mean thats terrifying! The flying holy water could come outta there any ole time and THEN where would you find Ol Ollie? Suspended from the ceiling fan thats where! Stay safe buddy. Ozman

Whoa! That mat looks like it should be eyed leerily. It is my color though. I never went for the frozen water bottle wrapped in a towel either.

Our mom could use a cooling pad. We are still BOILING, but she is the one who whines non-stop about it.

Sasha said...

I have one of those somewhere. I refused to use it.

Maybe your human can use the spendy cooling pad for herself, Spitty!

I guess she got the message that the fancy-shmancy cool pack was not comfy. The old one in the old towel - JUST RIGHT!

Hugs, Teddy

I wondered about those cool packs! I love what your mom did as a substitute!! See? She did celebrate you!

Plasticy stuff is no good. Towels are.
