Baby its cold outside

The ceramic heater saga--

Aunt Sue has complained to anyone who will listen that we freeze her out. She will wear layers of clothing and use several blankets. I got a thermostat and test to see how cold it really was. It stays around 72 in her room all the time. She is however the most impressionable person I know. SO when the news says it is cold outside she suddenly thinks wow I am freezing to death- even when the temperature stays the same inside. Actually it is a little warmer when the temperatures drop because she gets all the heat rising from below. We have found our furnace runs less the colder it gets as we have the advantage of science (heat rises). Aunt Sue during the summer blocks the air vents with books which then shuts down our air because the pipe freezes and then the house heats up- which we are trying to do the opposite with since it is 100 degrees outside. During our travels in Nov Scott finally gave into the idea of getting her a heater. He researched to find a safe one as to not burn the house down. He thought he would let her use it while we were away and then get it back to ad to the camping/ hunting arsenal. She will not let it go. He has tried to persuade her, to reason, to beg-- no luck. SO today he gave in and purchased another space heater. He does love her very much. The other day he over heard her on the phone with a family member trying to talk her into moving into her own place. Aunt Sue was very sad and thought it was us that put them up to it. He went into her to try and calm her down. He told her "Aunt Sue you are a member of this family, we love you. We made a promise to keep you until you die. As long as you will have us- you have a place with us." She cried and said "Mungo is the biggest sissy pussycat, but has the most gorgeous eyes. Thanks for being my knight." Not sure how Mungo fits in to the response, but we are happy she knows we love and want her.

My question is: would it be cheaper to turn the heat up rather that have the 2 of them playing with the space heaters? I guess I am not one to ask as I still have a temperature- I feel toasty. I don't like to be sick- especially for 3 weeks. I felt fine on Sunday, I may have over done it. Scott has his biopsy coming up he is doing better but still struggles with a extra dry mouth. I guess we are learning patience and endurance but there are some lessons I would rather not learn. I would like to know why Mungo is shedding so much- he is always shedding- how can one cat make so much fur? He is one happy cat to not be outside in the cold.
