Small paws oversee one very cold city window.

Cold Habits

  • TickerMEW
  • WindowThird floor, radiator side, with the curtain pulled halfway back.
  • ShiftFrom the first violet dusk until the unattended mug stops steaming.
  • ForecastSteady snow, amber windows, and one suspiciously quiet rooftop.
  • UniformTabby sleeves, cream winter bib, black eyes, and no outdoor boots.
  • Emergency KitOne hot mug, one laptop, and exactly zero practical interventions.

From the Warm Side

By midnight, the apartment is warm enough for serious observation, and the glass is cold enough to demand it. Wintermew takes the radiator ledge, checks the mug for adequate steam, and compares every new flake with the one before it. The city may handle traffic, chimneys, and late trains; the weather at this particular window remains under round-eyed supervision.

The Night Route

Wintermew’s patrol is short, exact, and entirely indoors. It begins at the curtain, crosses the warm sill, pauses beside the mug, and ends wherever the snow looks busiest.

Standing Order

Wintermew watches every snowflake because the city misplaced its night supervisor.

Keep the mug warm for Wintermew.
