Yep, you read right...
At long last spring is trying to heat up. We've opened the windows (hurrah!) but not put on the A/C yet. I feel fine, but I'm not wearing a fur coat.
A useful loose gauge of temperature is the extent of small mammalian spread - the hotter it gets, the more surface area a housepet will attempt to air out, by stretching out as flat as possible. Normally mine (especially Kisia) adopt controlled catloaf postures, but this is them last night (via crappy cell phone camera):

Based on this I'm guessing an interior temperature of 75-80F. Once I see them doing this on linoleum or tile I'll know it's time to put on the A/C.
Additional: Cat Drinking Songs - lemme know if they're any good (no sound at home).
