Something I Don't Understand

By Mewsette

I am a very wise and observant cat, so there isn't much I don't understand. Usually it's in the category of what humans do and make happen with switches on the wall and big noisy machines; things like that. I know my mom can flip a switch and make light come on in the room. I don't see how exactly. There's no wire or wand running from the switch to the light, as in things that make my toys move - I've looked.

Well, I really don't like summer much, because it's so hot. When I used to go outside in my youth, it was awful out there in summer. So what I would really like to understand is about hot and cool. My mom can touch a little box on the wall and make cool air come all through the house. She can do the same thing in winter, and make warm air come, just when we want it.

But I guess she doesn't know where the box is to make the outside air better. I like to have the doors open and feel air through the screens, but in summer, every time Mom opens one it feels icky hot. Why doesn't she just find the box to fix the air out there like she does in the house? I know she can't turn off thunder and rain, cause she explained that to me a long time ago. But I know perfectly well she can make air cool or warm. So I don't understand why she doesn't just do it for me!
