I have an experience to add to the mix. I ride a motorcycle and when I come
home from work after ridining in 40 degree weather my hands are usually
quite cold. Of course I have to pick Flip up and say hi when I get home and
he shivers quite alot for awhile. This happens wether or not he was asleep
when I arrived. So this lends weight to the differing body temp. theory.
