Meanwhile, it's Caturday in Valhalla

Coco playing pretzel

Rocco, the once and future king

So what's the herd up to on this late August, hot, hot, hot, summer's-almost-toast afternoon?

Napping. It's what they do best. Coco's on the couch and Rocco's in his bedroom closet sanctuary.

Jen and Oni's elderly, fluffy wonder nodded off in a deck chair. Years past being an escape risk, she has her own chair and gets minimal supervision.

Coco is deeply envious.

When The Green Miles was a wee bairn, he would always put ice cubes in Rotten Ralf's water dish on hot days. Very thoughtful AND one of the top ten tips from Catster on how to keep felines chill in the heat. Miles—exceptionally bright kid/wise, good, caring adult.

Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city

All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head
