Oops! Didn’t notice you stated you lived in Central Ontario. That’s the first Spanish Entry I’ve seen, I love it.
I’m glad you mentioned putting the chimney inside… I’m thinking about putting a stove in my basement and after reading about Gulland’s evil chimney I emailed him asking if the outside combustion thing would prevent it. He said
Outdoor air does not help an outside chimney. In both cases (outside chimneys and outdoor air) the problem is the physics of how chimneys and houses interact. Nothing you do can change the physics of the situation. Which is why we make such a big deal about it.
Honestly, I don’t understand what he’s saying except the part it won’t help. It was very nice of him to answer, now, I’m having second thoughts about the stove in the basement because I’d have the chimney chase running up the center of my kitchen. I don’t think I’ll get approval for that :)
Your cat is beautiful! Very defined stripes/spots, beautiful coat, has a lot of pure tiger cat in her (not as much white), her tail looks very undersized for her body, that’s cute and she’s big! Here’s a picture of mine, had an operation in one of her eyes, likes to lay on her back, more white than yours, has socks on all paws, I think she’s probably a little bigger than yours, she weighs 16 lbs (7.26 kg) they may even be the same. You can see her size in the close-up of her face. I hated cats. It took 2.5 years and now there’s no way I’ll live without one. We now have 2, someone dropped a near dead cat on our doorstep last year. I knew what was going to happen the second I opened the door and my wife saw it but, it was in such bad shape I thought it wouldn’t survive. Well, it did and we have 2 cats now. Gotta love that asbestos flooring in my house from the 60’s huh? Just another project waiting for me to do. I bought my house 3 years ago.
Is it just me, my picture previews seem to always be much bigger compared to everyone else’s. Take a look at the size of the preview of your cat vs. mine.
