Something to distract me while I look for my insulin:

Why do kittens pile?

While there are other factors involved, the primary rate of heat-loss in animals can be attributed to the ratio between an animal's mass and it's surface area.

As you grow, your surface area increases geometrically. Your mass increases exponentially. As a creature grows larger, it dissipates heat much more slowly.

Younger kittens' mass is so much smaller than larger cats that they are constantly in danger of hypothermia. Accordingly, they sleep in groups to decrease the amount of their surface exposed to air.

Behavioral scientists and others (Desmond Morris has documented it at length) have discussed the pattern of 'Pile Shifting' that kittens go through.

Kittens at the center of the pile will begin to wriggle and climb as they grow warmer. This will put them on top of our outside the pile. Just when the first kitten starts to to cool off, another kitten will climb on top of it.

Baby budgies do it too. They'll try to snuggle up under their mother if possible, but if she's off getting seeds/if they're being raised by humans, they'll clamber onto one another to get warm.
