I'd forgotten: Whilst the lovely Elly was staying with us last week, I came out one morning to find the CO detector pulled out of its wall socket and lying on the floor, which I thought was a really odd thing for a cat to do. How they ever got it out I have no idea. Maybe it was a joint effort. I still wonder if one of the humans did it in their sleep.
But the detector that was right next to the heater never went off. Too close to the floor? Possibly. Of course, I held it right over the vent in my bedroom the other day when I was worried, and nada.
They came and took the heater out of the wall this morning so they can fix it and replace it. How keen am I on having the same heater back again? Norman may become my very best friend.
I do have a fireplace, but I'm scareder than ever to have a fire in there. And Norman said he sure wouldn't trust it to be properly upkept after all this. One of my heaters could be an anomaly; two that are completely unconnected and unrelated to each other? That's something else. I have half a mind to go knocking on my neighbors' doors to warn them.
(The heaters are like those units in hotel rooms that have the ac/heat buttons and the knob for warmer/cooler. Totally self-contained.)
