Soup, /an/. We all know the old saying, "The colder the weather, the moar tightly coiled the animal."
Problem is, one of my cats has become the ultimate heat sponge, it spends all day led up against a radiator getting really, really hot. Sometimes it drags itself lethargically to a cooler spot for five minutes, wakes up a bit, and just goes and lies back down in the same spot. If I pick it up, I can barely touch it, the temperatures involved are so high, and it is very dopey and slow until it has cooled off.
I know cats lying by fires and stuff is hardly news, but I've never seen one which appears to be almost passing out from the heat before. Do you think it could be dangerous? Could kitty overheat and hurt itself or make itself ill?
Th illustration which I have posted is pertinent to the matter at hand because it depicts the carnivorous mammalian quadruped in question. Also, kitteh loev boks.

How does this same cat behave in summer ?

Completely normally. Behaviour, diet, poo cycle, all fine. I don't think there's any underlying problem, she had a vet check up and her teeth cleaned just before christmas and everything was fine. I'm just concerned that she's going to get heatstroke or something because of her thirst for warmth.

Yes to both. Cute cat, by the way. Cats can sleep way way too close to heaters, and especially the older ones who aren't as bright as they used to be can manage to fall asleep and receive burns because of it. I've never heard of a cat being dopey and slow because of it, that's really odd, I'd ask your vet about that. Otherwise, you might want to set something up to ensure that the cat can only sleep so close to the radiator to make sure he/she won't end up burning itself. Your amateur handyman skills may need to be employed.

I'd do that too, you never know there might be something underlying. You don't want to come back from work and find BBQ kitty.

Cats are desert animals.
They cannot get too hot, even though they have fur.
Just ignore it.

As long as he isn't burning himself or becoming dehydrated, let him do it.

Context clues, my friend, context clues.

If someone says "god i love petting bunnies, they are so soft" and the next person says "what are you, some kind of sick hyphephile?" you can logically assume that a "hyphephile" is someone who likes fur or rabbits.

Animals are like children. Sometimes they don't know enough to come out of the cold or rain. In you case, the heat. Maybe the heat makes him feel secure like cuddled up to mama. I recommend some way to block acess to so close to the heater. He can get heat stroke and die

Then why are pedophiles into children rather than feet? Peds = feet!

I don't know latin, but judging by the pedagogical method, I'm assuming ped/peda/pedo or something like that also means "child."
>> Anonymous
>>206877
K guys. There are TWO "ped"s. One is Roman, the other is Greek. The Roman "ped" refers to feet, while the Greek "ped" means children. Phil (used in soandsophile) is Greek. Therefore pedophile means loving children instead of loving feet.

Also, example of the Roman "ped" in use: centipede. If you can't figure that one out you're retarded.

Slight correction, but very good guesses.

The word comes from the Greek paidophilia (??????????), from "pais" (????, "child") and philia (?????, "love, friendship"). (Order my book, "Quoting Wikipedia to look smart!" today, for only three easy payments of 49.99!)

The "proper" modern spelling is paedophile, pronounced the same as "pedophile". Its a matter of Queen's English versus American English. If you say grey, colour, and cheque, then call them paedophiles. If you say gray, color, and check, call them pedophiles.

I have noticed that a lot of pedos also love feet. Coincidence? I think not.

Also Bitter, what do you have to say about the Roman ped?
>> Bitter Anon !!WJLRQ1cwCyZ
>>206970
Because we get called paedophiles all the time. After all, god hates fags, and gods hates paedophiles, so "logically", paedo = fag.

>> Bitter Anon !!WJLRQ1cwCyZ
>>206977
Oh, I too thought you were asking me if I liked feet/was a paedo.

Regarding etymology, I honestly don't know. I have studied Latin, the only roman stuff I know that is not general knowledge is about Gaius Julius Caesar and thats because I have a mancrush on him. A Google search would reveal whether or not there is actually a roman prefix ped- or if you were just mislead. Frankly, I think I've put way too much effort into this thread already.

Thirded. Bill voted and passed. Feet are not to be used for sexual purposes (Except as transportation to and from sexual activity).
>> Anonymous

There is no specific Latin prefix of ped, but obviously it's not something which would come up often anyway. The simple rule of thumb for determining whether the etymology is Greek or not (and hence referring to children rather than feet) is whether the word pertains to something medical. Other give-aways are things like the letters "ph" sounding like "f", or mostly the use of the letter "z". You'll rarely get mixed Greek and Latin etymologies in one word, excepting the cases where the languages are already related.

Quadruped vs. Tetrapod for example.

Nope. Most identify as heterosexual.
>> Anonymous
>>207168

I'm reasonably certain that 98% identify as hetero. Of course, there's a whole box of cans of worms within such a statement - but the point is that the homosexual and paedophile link is complete rubbish.

Anyway. Cats, heatstroke?

This is actually true, not necessarily in "this is wrong that this is right"-sense, but for men anal sex is actually enjoyable in the receiving end since their genitals are somehow connected to rectum (Can't really remember how to explain it in english but anyway), and women do not, well maybe if it's a fetish, but not directly form the act.
