Same here. I think the kitty boys and I will turn on the air conditioning and do nothing but keep cool today. It’s 83°F [28.3°C] in the apartment at 4:10 AM. Ugh! The kitty boys like to cool off on the bathroom floor, which is, I agree, a lot cooler than the rest of the place. I’m half tempted to join them LOL!
It is so hot this summer! I was surprised to find my oldest kitty sleeping on his heating pad anyway! He loves that heating pad (which I keep covered with a royal purple blanket and on the lowest setting) but I thought the day’s heat would cause him to sleep on the tile. Not a chance I guess.
I notice that you are mostly on the tile part which is much cooler. My cats have the conundrum of lying on the nice cushy chairs (which get hot) or the cool tile (which is hard).
Have your humans seen the special gel cooling mats? They work beautifully and my mother’s dogs love theirs…still trying to purrsuade my girls of its benefit though!

Go ahead! Laying on tile is the best place to be on hot days. Your Cats won’t judge you much. Purrs, Amber

It is a conundrum indeed! Humans don’t appreciate the difficult choices in a Cat’s daily existence. Purrs, Amber

Lots of very hot cats posting today, but we are fine in our neck of the woods. No need to let it all hang out this week.

Nothing like flopping on your back, though, and curling your paws, regardless of the temperature. Purrs, Amber

Does the Cat on the box look legitimately comfortable or is she just posing for Catnip? Purrs, Amber

Ah. Good point…um…she looks as if she was passing through and the human suggested posing in exchange for a little bribe…

Not a bribe–payment. If she is a well known Cat Model, she’s probably union. Purrs, Amber
