Heat wave in US

Everyone be careful in this heat. I saw on the weather report this morning
most of the U.S.A. will be having a heat wave. Here in Connecticut we are

The UK is due to hit 35 degrees Centigrade this week. Today it hit 32,
tomorrow more of the same. I'm lucky as I'm used top the tropics. The
cats are so hot, they don't know what to do with themselves apart from
sleep in the flowerbeds in the shade.

expected to have temperatures 95 to 100 with high humidity.

Except for the kittens, I think my cats mostly stayed outside all day,
except to come in and drink. Water consumption was up and food
consumption was down. They are free to chose, and they chose the
heat. A few of them came in around dark. I, on the other hand,
stayed inside in the air conditioning.

We're all suffering through this in Ohio. I haven't even read any
other groups the last few days (not that I subscribe to very many
others) because it's just too darn HOT in this room. I was going to
go run errands today, but between the heat and air quality alert, I
think I am just going to curl up in the Cool Room with as many cats
who want to run in there, and take it easy! Wish I could cancel my
medical appointments later in the week, but I guess I'll just have to
suffer through those.

Guess I'm just glad I've got ONE air-conditioned room in here!

I think I prefer our 110 out here! Although southern
California is far more humid than it was forty years ago
(more people = more lawns and swimming pools), it is still
less so than the upper midwest or most of the rest of country.

We're having an air quality alert here. Ick.

Here in North Yorkshire, UK, the temperature is a very pleasent 80°F with
clear blue skies. :-)

Enjoy it while you can.

" Britain could soon swelter in the highest temperatures ever recorded,
weather forecasters said, with a 30 percent chance that Wednesday will
become the country's hottest day ever. "

Highs have been over 100 here since Friday. Very unusual.

typical mid-afternoon high temperature for the last few weeks, after a
long spring with highs in the low 80s Fahrenheit. I try to get most
of my outdoor activities done either in the morning or after sunset.

Once we moved from Alaska to California, our Sam couldn't get enough of the
heat. He would go out and lie in the sun in the orchard on the hottest
days. There were times I'd go pick him up and carry him inside because it
worried me. But it never seemed to hurt him. He lived a very long life.
As much of it in the sun as he could manage.

Many years ago, when I first started living with cats, I read that
they were probably most comfortable around 65 degrees (F). Later I
found out that they originated in a hot climate. I think somebody
forgot to tell the cats that they are supposed to like it cooler - I

You moved from Alaska to California? That's interesting. My mother did the
reverse - when she was 80. She lives in Valdez (She's 93 now.) Where did
you live?

have never found one that did.

Late last night, four of the adults, and the kittens, joined me in
bed, but when I got up this morning, only Tigger, Spooky, and the
kittens were around. Tigger and Spooky are largely indoor cats by
choice.
