Wood stoves in the winter

One of the BEST features a Pacific Northwest home, with cats, can have in the cold, damp winter is a wood stove; preferably one ensconced in brick and aromatic cedar. The warmth and toastiness emanating from the stove casts a languorous spell throughout the room, causing any cat within a ten foot radius to fall into a stuporous daze, unable to think, or reason, or fend for itself, as you see in the photo above.
