Perry Adventures
We met Holly and Denis in Victoria (BC). Real nice folk. Even in the relative mild of late summer, they had plenty of space heaters throughout the boat. And it's not like they weren't used to cold weather - they came from Colorado.

Having done lots of boating in BC winters, I can say that all boats are hard to keep warm - the more space you have, the harder it will be. I say go for the cat - you can always insulate, heat or dress warmer - worst case scenario is that you'll be motivated to head to the tropics sooner, so it's all good.
