My kitty Doodlebug was like Lollo. Now she's an adult kitty. I had to turn on the heater for the first time the other night and it clicked on at 5am. She did her annual running around the house yowling really loud protesting the dusty odor that happens when you rarely use the heater. She'll do this for several minutes. And if I do get out of bed she'll go stand by the door with a WE NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW! panicked expression. This time, I was still in bed and my other cat looked at me with this "will she shut up?" expression.
The bright side is I know that she's going to let me know if there's a fire or a gas leak. The other bright side is the heater rarely comes on so Fire Marshall Doodlebug doesn't do this often.
