The boys have realised that tiles are a bit cooler than hardwood.
Though only somewhat. My goodness but it is HOT around here these days. The official temperature may say it’s “only” 40º, but that ends up being about five degrees hotter in the centre of town. It’s absurd weather.
But at least I don’t have to wear a fur coat. These two have really gone all floppy, as you can see. And I’ll have you know that the bathroom floor had just been washed! All smudges are courtesy of Loki who cannot just drink out of a water bowl – he has to dip his paws in and splash water all around the damn place and then walk in it. He also pushes the livingroom water bowl around with his nose. Weirdo.
Oh, and check it out. At just seven months old Loki is now officially bigger than Azar. And he’s still growing!

It’s very very hot around this city too!

Ah yes, I remember hot & HUMID Toronto summers… stifling.

I still say Loki is a secret son of Mr. Ferguson, who cannot drink water that has not been “adjusted.”
Those forelegs are incredible. He’s the Ichabod Crane of cats.

I know I shouldn’t encourage him but he gets so excited whenever I have a shower that sometimes I turn on the bidet and splash him with a bit of water. He loves it, though he hasn’t quite yet been bold enough to actually stick his paw into the running water.
And yeah, he’s still so lanky. That awkward “tall teenager” look. You can see where he was shaved for an IV a couple of weeks ago – it’s taking a long time to grow back.
Oh, and in case anybody is wondering, that brick is to stop the door from slamming shut on a passing kitteh. When all the balcony doors are open and there’s a sudden gust of wind that bathroom door can slam shut with a LOT of force.

I have that issue with the screened-porch door in balmy weather. I have bricks, too.

Benjamin has taken to sleeping on the bathroom floor, too, even though it is only marginally cooler than the rest of the upstairs. Why he doesn’t choose the kitchen floor when the downstairs is even cooler, I really do not know.
I found out that having the air-conditioning will cost about $500… but I really cannot take sleeping (or not sleeping, actually) in this humidity. It is like sleeping in pea soup.

oh, I always feel so sorry for animals in their fur coats in the hot summer weather! 🙂

Water are to be splashed, you know that. Currently there are six water bowls (and five cats) in the Lair. Lynx has a lot of places incl. the water taps to drink and splash from. Water bolws must also be moved around…
As if that was not enough I almost daily must use a water spray bottle to “shower” Leopardess with. Not due to high temperature though. Well, maybe metaphorically – She is bad tempered and water is often the only way to get her to abort attacks on the other cats.
