"It&amp;#039;s true. Cats don&amp;#039;t understand perimenopause. They think it&amp;#039;s a good thing. They&amp;#039;re cold; you&amp;#039;re hot. What could be better? But when you&amp;#039;re in the throws of night sweats, when the mere thought of a cat, or two, curled against your legs makes you feel like you just might burst into flames, they are no longer so cute and cuddly. Have there been any studies on the effect of felines on inducing vasomotor symptoms? Not that I know of. But I can tell you it happens. And you know too if you&amp;#039;ve ever had the experience of trying to read with a 20-pound cat on your lap, or one curled against your legs as you sleep. No sooner do they settle in than the temperature goes from preheat to broil to need-to-rip-off-all-your-clothes-right-this-minute or burst into flames. Here&amp;#039;s Rocco, my heat-seeking feline. Do you have a similar issue with your pets increasing your vasomotor symptoms, aka hot flashes?  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
