I was inspired to write/record/edit/produce this short by the fickle behaviour of one of my pet cats, the incomparable Whiskey Whiskers. It is a fun parody, but everything in the video is true. It really was -34℃ on that day, and Whiskey really did ask to go out into the back yard repeatedly, only to change his mind as soon as the door was open. In case you are wondering, only dangerously cold temperatures, or rain, will give Whiskey pause; in the absence of those he bolts through the door as soon as it is opened.
