Keep the heat at bay…
Comments Off It was a miserable few days for me…
Yeah – the fur-less creatures’ central air conditioning went out – it was in the high 90’s and very humid – actually the air was so hot and still (both inside and out) that it took your breath away.
Good slaves that they are, they put a fan on the floor for me to lay in front of until the repair man could get the needed parts and repair the central air conditioning.
Angel brushed me with her Furminator (C) brush to help get rid of the excess loose fur and help keep me cooler.
See, it’s hard for a cat to eliminate the heat – we are often in danger of overheating and getting sick. In the wild we would look for a cave or a hole deep under something where the air is cooler.
That’s because we only sweat through our paw pads and nose leather. You may see us panting hard – this is to help cool our bodies down so we don’t overheat.
I didn’t eat much while it was so hot and muggy – that would have meant more heat generated by my body while it was processing my food. But I did lap up a lot of water.
We’ve only just begun the summer months – so please keep your dear furry companions in mind and allow them a means to cool off.
Heat stroke is no joking matter – for pets or humans!
Cat’s Rule!
