warmth

at the end of last winter wombat discovered the space heater and how great it is to lay in front of it (we use the space heater most of the time in the evenings when we only need to heat the lounge room, the central heating only goes on if we need to heat the rest of the house because it uses a lot more energy and the house doesn't stay warm when it goes off anyway). so now when she hears the space heater go on, if she's cold she'll usually go over to it and settle as close as she can to the heater without burning (and i'm usually right there next to her).
