So… it’s getting pretty hot out there… We’re currently under a weather advisory, due to the heat.
Sunday, we’re looking at a potential high of 35C/95F. The weather warnings are saying the humidex could reach 45C/113C
Ugh.
Today, we “only” hit about 28C/82F, with a humidex of about 30C/86F
The cats are coping pretty well out there…
… taking advantage of any shade out there!
I had a pleasant surprise this morning. I’d done out outside cats’ kibble and was coming out with the cat soup when I startled a cat splattered on the sidewalk in front of the sun room door.
It was Sweetie!
Though startled, she didn’t run far. As I moved away from the sun room door, she ran into the sun room and straight to a tray with cat soup in it!!
This is HUGE progress. She is readjusting to familiar places after being away for a couple of months.
I tried doing a head count this morning and got “only” 18. I didn’t see Adam, though you can see her in the melted cats picture. She’s the one in the middle. I’m seeing Slick a fair bit. She’s had her kittens, but I can’t tell if they’ve survived or not. She seems to be here an awful lot. I’ve not seen that one kitten I spotted a few days ago again.
I also realized, I haven’t seen Domino in a while. I see Bug and Batman, the two other little mostly black cats, but no Domino.
*sigh*
One thing I’ve noticed, now that I regularly give out cat soup. I don’t put out a lot, considering the number of cats out there, but they really like it. They like it so much that when I come out to do the kibble, they do start eating a bit, but then they run around while I do the various bowls further out, waiting for the cat soup! When I come back out again for the afternoon feeding, there’s lots of kibble left, but every bit of cat soup and kibble that had cat soup poured over it, is gone.
Which works fine for now, but it’s not something we can do in the winter. It would freeze before they could finish eating it.
Which is really hard to think about, with the heat we’re having right now!
