Summer has finally arrived with a heatwave that brought even San Francisco into the mid 90s F (30s C). And our apartment tends to get even warmer:
Luna was a bit uncomfortable in the heat, but it was a good excuse to nap (as if cats need an excuse for that). And a napping cat is a good excuse for experimenting with the camera (such as fun with low f-stop settings):
It’s been another busy week – yes, that is a familiar phrase here at CatSynth – and I haven’t been home very much. So I left fans running for Luna, and even a small ice pad out for her on the hottest day. I think we’re both a little tired out, physically and mentally. But it’s a long three-day weekend, and the fog has once again returned with its calming and creative influence. I think we will enjoy it.
Weekend Cat Blogging #274 is hosted by the handsome pair Jules and Vincent at Judi’s Mind over Matter. Jules, the black cat, often appears when we host WCB, so we’re returning the favor this week.
Photo Hunt 229 is hosted by tnchick, with the apropos theme of Hot.
The Carnival of the Cats will be hosted this Sunday by Kashim, Othello and Salome.
The monthly Bad Kitty Cats Festival of Chaos will be hosted by Nikita and Elvira at Meowings of an Opinionated Pussycat.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.
Aw, such a lethargic kitty.
yep my cat lays next to the door leading to the garage just like that to cool off.
That is very hot. Poor luna. A person has the option of going somewhere that’s cool, like a mall or library, but kitty doesn’t have that kind of option. I’m sure the fans and ice pad will help her cool down.
I almost forgot how enjoyable a 3-day weekend can be. Aaaaah 🙂
Found apartments I lived in in the US to be the hottest places to be in summer. I guess it’s because there’s so much insulation in the walls to deal with the cold of winter… but I also made the mistake once of having an apartment with a main room facing west. Never again!
Wearing a fur coat in a hot summer is difficult and the black colour didn’t help one bit! Poor Luna! 🙂
It’s hard to take the heat when you HAVE to wear a fur coat….

I can’t believe it is hotter in San Francisco than Alabama this weekend. Luna has the right idea, though. Just take it slow and stay cool.
The WCB roundup is up. Thanks for participating.

It has actually cooled down a lot this weekend compared to during the week, so it’s quite comfortable and we are sitting outside 🙂
It’s no fun to be so warm. Hope you enjoyed the weekend.
