Recent days have been very hot, even for cats, who are descended from wild desert living ancestors. These civilized creatures would rather nap where it’s cool(er) than being outside where it’s definitely hot.

Nicholas has discovered that he can scooch up into the chairs pushed under the kitchen table where it’s dark and cool. He can then peek out and keep an eye on things.

Joan likes to lie down on the kitchen table with the ceiling fan running directly overhead.

Luke has discovered that when the three little ones chew out one side of a short box that it’s more comfortable for him to lie in, especially when he wants to sprawl with one arm hanging out. If I didn’t know any better I’d believe he directed one of the little ones to chew out that side just for him.
