Thermal Thursday



Kitties!

The HOTS have arrived here in the desert.
About time!
It was 104F out on the Catio, (finally) hot enough for KonaKitty to abandon her heated beddy-box and head for the concrete.  May Ling is wedged up against the foundation keeping her back cool.  DO NOT think the yellow stain next to Miss Ling is tinkle...it's spilled varnish!  Truly.

Scouty, who normally sleeps in the Sky Lounge during the day has moved down a floor to the floor, venturing occasionally inside to cool off on the tile.  Rhino is oblivious to the heat.  He stays on the shelf, no matter the weather.  He's a trooper!

The Baby is enjoying the heat, but her forays Outside are now curtailed to the times the yard is shady--the rocks are too hot for her paw pads for very long.  She'd be happy to snooze in the tomato plants all damn day but Daddy is a wiener and refuses to stay out for hours, watching her.

Mommy says she hardly sees any of us anymore, and that the outside Cat Boxes have considerably more dung than the indoor ones, now.  We love Summer.  Nothing beats pooping al fresco in pleasant warm weather!

Happy Thursday!

    That's far too hot for us. We like it semi-hot here but not like you have to endure.

    Keep cool dudes! Unless of coure May Ling wishes to become a little more heated by popping over to the bloggie today.......

    MOL, I love that you can tell the weather by the litter boxes!

    I certainly think having litter boxes al fresco would be great! Jenna isn't exactly good about covering her deposits...

    I have read all the rave reviews of those lucky enough to visit catio. How great it is you provided concrete floors for the hot months!

    At this stage, we have mostly forgotten what hot feels like as the temps have stayed so cool for the season. But who knows, maybe it will change all of a sudden?

    Amazing that you like it more the hotter it gets out there! As spoiled, air-conditioned cats, we don't know how we would do with those temperatures. (Newton is not heat tolerant at all, even in the house.) You sure look happy out there in the heat, though!

    We prefer the cold weather although ours is not snowy or anything. If it gets too hot we would get the haze. It always gets worse in June.

    If that's a tinkle, somebody has an ENORMOUS bladder!

    Glad you kitties are enjoying the frying pan, I mean, heat.

    104F! Hot! It's about 80F here and I'm hoping it won't get any hotter. Glad you are enjoying summer, though :-)

    I've got photos of the outside cats hiding in shade, during our recent heat-up in Michigan, but it's nothing like your temps! Keep cool, kitties!

    pooping al fresco does sound more refreshing than sleeping next to tinkle.

    That is far too hot for me! It is too cold here though, only 46. Mum is shivering and I am snuggled up to her. Dad started a cold on Sunday which he must have caught on the ship. Now he has given it to mum and she has lost her voice.

    104! We agree al fresco pooping and whizzing is #1. Our guys love doing their business in the edge of the bushes.

    We are pretty sure if it was 104 degrees here that we would abandon the catio for the cooler temps in the house. Looks like most of you have adopted what our humans call summer position. try to stay cool and comfy. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
