After his little adventures yesterday, today my CAT woke me up because he wanted to go outside.

I assumed he was hungry because that's why he usually wakes me up, but when I prepared food he sniffed it and immediately went to sit against the exterior door and make a demanding little yelp.

So I moved the barriers and folded back the plastic curtain to the Cold Side of the House (it's under construction and several of the radiators aren't working there) and he had a great time exploring in the chaos. He made so much noise joyously yelling about it, and coming to tell her and then running back there, that the BB got out of bed and went to check it out with him. They both discovered a sunbeam on top of the temporary worktable in our kitchen-to-be:

And he later ventured upstairs and discovered the sunbeam at our someday-bedroom window directly above it, and the BB followed him up there too. Once the sun had moved far enough for the sunbeams to reach their napping cushions in the kitchen, he discovered that while prowling around; and, failing to rouse the BB by running up and down the stairs yelling about it, he came and yorped in my face and then did what I call his Little Timmy's Down the Well act, leading me first to the sunny cushion and then to the door to the cold side. So I went upstairs and found the BB snoozing on a hard chair and carried her back to the warm side, with Snookums watching and commentating from the stairs and then following me. I deposited her on the cushion and he immediately jumped up on the other one and they went to sleep before I finished putting the barriers back.
