Keeping cool on Sunday

Kitties!
It's Hot hot hot outside!
This was taken on Friday...it got up to 114.9 in our back yard this afternoon on 6/5.
Our Catio faces West so it gets nice and toasty in the afternoon. It's great in the wintertime, but in Summer we have to beat the heat...

So we go belly up inside the house to cool off...

Or get outside early to do our patrols.



The blanket on the sofa is always a nice place for a nap and Mommy sits here after work so there's lovins going on...


and the hot box in the yellow bedroom is good for grooming and checking out the desert across the street.



The big bedroom is nice and cool...




So's the tile on the floor.



There's a big Cat tree inside to rest on...



And the Big Bed has plenty of spots, too!
We hope you all are having a wonderful Sunday!

  1. We will trade you some of our colds for some of your hots. That's a fair deal, right? :) Salem, when I do your pose mum calls it a Fui-worm!

  2. 115F is scorching. Everyone says dry heat is better than high humidity, which is what we get here, but I think at those temps, hot is just plain HOT!

    Everybody--four-legged and two--stay cool and hydrated!

  3. Whoa! That is some hot, kittehs! Gets warm here too (NC) but it's a big heat wave to get over 100. Yeowww!!! Stay cool, guys.

  4. If you get too hot, just come over here, because it's winter and freezing cold now!

  5. A cool tile floor on a hot day is the only way to go.

  7. Sure makes our 90's look really cool. But we are sure glad to see you have ways to remain kind of cool. You all look terrific all sleeping on the bed together.
    Have a great Sunday.

  8. Guess we can't complain about our 90*'s now....wait, yes we can! If we were there we'd be next to Salem on that tile floor!!

  9. 115 degrees is too hot for us - it is lucky you have plenty of places to get out of the heat.

  10. That's entirely too hot for me. I tend to sleep under the AC vents when it starts getting hot.

  11. We know about hot down here also....but not as hot as you usually are.....it's just so blasted humid here though that it gets totally miserable. Mama says she's already tired of listening to the "blasted" air conditioner running.....do y'all think we could find somewhere cooler to spend our summers????

    We always love seeing your gorgeous pix. xxxxxxxxxxxx

  13. Gosh but that's HOT!!!

    But you gorgeous lovely kitties know how to keep cool in such heat! Me and Charlie are so impressed by your inventiveness and particularly love crashing out on the tile floor like that!

    LOL!!

    We hope you have a cooler fresher rest of the day!

  17. It's very important to stay cool when the weather heats up like that.

    By the way, can you tell us about the great beds in the last photo. We think they look really cool (haha!).

  18. Well, we have been telling our mommies to tell you kitties that we love your mommy and daddy. They send us lots of presents and we love them all. Our mommy is new at this bloggy thing so she didn't know how to tell you what we wanted to say. We want to show you pictures of us with our presents (and Simon wants to show you how brave he is laying on top of the dog.... he is not really brave, he is just simple and didn't know it was really a picture of a dog.... boys, sheesh...)Maybe your mommy can tell our mommy how to put pictures on this bloggy thing and you can see how much fun we are having. Until then, tell them we said thanks!!

  19. Oh, and one more thing .... you kitties can come to our house if you want to visit .... it is nice and cool here and we are laying on our deck right now. It just rained so all of the birdies are landing very close to us to drink the water .... we keep saying "here birdie birdie birdie ....." and then our mommies make lots of noise to scare them off....

  20. Oh, that is hot! We do not like the heat because it means the A/C will blow cold air on us. Brrrr!

  21. OMC, and we thought it was hot here in TX! Glad you all found some inside spots!

  22. Thanks for the link for the beds! We would like to order one if we can EVER get the international help page to load so we can find out how much it would cost to ship to France!

  23. Happy Sunday to our favorite dozen!!
    We missed yesterday too...Mom had a little issue with her parents that got her all of schedule...she is a creature of habit aka Type A personality...so it threw her off a bit. All are well just her Dad (80) thinks he is 20...he was on the roof cleaning out his gutters...Mom's evil twin Drucilla made an appearance...(mom is an only child but she has one mean alter ego).MOL
    It was hot in LV yesterday Whoa kitties. We were in LV years ago when it was 117...but as the old saying goes it was dry heat. LOL still HOT.

  26. Phew! That is far too hot for us. Yesterday we were forecast to have the hottest day of the year so far, but it was cloudy and cold (58F). Can you send us about 20 degrees of your heat please?

    That is hot.
    H*O*T

    It get warm here too (mainly upper 90's)but it a wet heat....which is awful. It was like that this morning. The air felt like warm jello.

    *U*G*H*
    WE stay indoors when it gets this hot.
    When you wear a fur coat those of us in warmer climates have to figure out ways to stay cool.

  34. Oh my Bast! I thought it was bad here--103 today--but really, I think we'd all need to move into the refrigerator at 114.9!!! (And here my mom had some bizarre notion of moving us to Nevada--113 when we checked for comparison at 6:00. I DON'T THINK SO, MOM.)
