Cat's aren't particularly adjustable, warmed or otherwise. They're
notoriously stubborn.

Actually, that's the neighbors cat. She typed "don't you dare try to
move me" on the keyboard as a warning. I found a different computer
to work on.

Incidentally, the noisy fan on cold start turned out to the small fan
on the video card. Cleaning and switching to a multi-viscosity oil
change seems to have solved the problem.
