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.
