Comatose Caturday

Kitties!

Rupert here, sorta.  I'm alllllmost asleep.
It is ding-dang hot outside right now, and the humidity is up, too. Today it was 115 F.
It's pretty uncomfortable, even for Heat-Seeking Cats!
The only way to hang out on the Catio during the day is up against the house foundation, which is nice and chilly.

Do any of you remember the McDLT? 
We're just like 'em:
 Keeping the hot side hot and the cool side cool!

My sister Kona prefers the corner slot so she can prop up her little head. 
Look at her liquorice toes!

My toes are mauvey grey. 
I'm keeping one foot on Kona's tail, so she knows I'm here.

I've got your back, Kona... 
...now let's enjoy our nap!

    Poor things..I feel for them. I can't imagine having a fur coat on in this blasted heat. I don't like humidity either. Stay cool kitties. Hugs, Deb=^..^=x4

    It's very nice of you to keep a paw on your sister Kona's tail. I bet she feels very secure knowing you're protecting her. Hope you kitties can get some relief from the horrible hots.

    Rupert, don't your peoples even turn the air conditioning on for you? Heartless, I tell you, heartless! And even if they don't have any, that's hardly an exxcuse. it should have been installed straight away at the start of the hots for your comfort! Tell them this, and if they moan about how many green papers it costs, I'd suggest talking to the others and having everyone make a heap on the Mom and the Dad whenever they're trying to sleep, whenever they sit down, well, generally as soon as they're still. Your fur will give them even more of the hots than you've got. it should get the message across pretty quick...

    You two sure have the right idea. That does look like a cool place to nap. Hope it cools off for you soon. It is almost that hot here. It is not any fun. Take care.

    115 degrees is way too hot for fur coats. Something for the beach would be good! Poor kitties. It's about 70 here :))

    Catio Felines,
    In Australia, sheep are shorn in summer as it gets very hot down there. Would consider shaving too? har har har *evil laughs*

  28. Angel SimbaJuly 30, 2011 at 7:40 AM

    So here's my question: when you CAN (presumably) be inside in the a/c, do you actually CHOOSE to be on the catio, or do your humans send you out there for a time? On hot days here, if I ask to go on the deck and discover it is hot, I ask to come back inside fairly soon as I get uncomfortable in the hots. And I mean 20 degrees cooler than your version of hot!

    I think that is way too hot for us. The Woman was thinking it was a little warm yesterday and it was almost 75. The Male is worried he'll over heat golfing today when it is supposed to be in the upper 70s! Yes that is as warm as it's gotten so far this year!

    We feel for you, we at least cooled off (just over 100) with the monsoons. You kitties stay cool, drink lots of water, and no fighting. Too strenuous in that heat, just relax and conserve energy.

    Dear Kona and Rupert, you two are great buddies to stick close together and relax together in this heat.
    It is hot here.
    Gramma told mom that Auntie Carla and Uncle Paul in Spain (yes they live there) are freezing their butts off having the coldest summer ever, temps in the 60s and wearing sweaters!!
    They claim we are hogging the hot weather here in the US but really, we are more than happy to pass it on to them. Entire Europe is expericenciing the coldest summer on record!

    bonks to all of you. stay cool and comfy. We have a/c here and Miles and I are not allowed to go outside ever, but we get to snuggle in the laundry!

    bonks and more bonks

    115F! That is too hot. It's about 80F here...it feels cool when compared to 115F.
    You kitties know where to go. You are very smart. I hope you stay cool - and hope it get less humid.

    Those are what I call "liquid kitties". Whenever it gets stinking hot here (although we haven't quite made it to 115F!), the cats are all loose and liquidy when you pick them up. :)
