Hot Under the Fur

Today was hot. And by hot, I mean the kind of heat that makes you question every life choice, especially the one about having fur. It’s like living inside an oven that decided to have a sauna party. 

First off, who ordered this heat? It wasn’t me! I specifically requested a mild breeze, a few sunbeams for basking, and occasional rain for dramatic window staring. Instead, the sun decided to take things up a notch and is now trying to turn my fur coat into a portable sauna.


Humans, I must say, your reactions to the heat are truly entertaining. I saw you sweating like an overstuffed turkey (don’t get excited, no turkey involved). You flail about with your weird, hairless bodies, trying to cool off with those noisy wind machines you call "fans." I, Gryzka, offer you some sage advice:

  1. Stop Moving: Seriously, just stop. Find a cool tile and sprawl out like a pancake. Moving around only makes you hotter. Be like me, adopt the noble art of the belly-flop and chill.

  2. Lick Yourself: If you want to stay cool, take a hint from me and start licking yourself. Sure, it might not be socially acceptable for you, but hey, desperate times call for desperate measures. Plus, you might actually get that pesky spot behind your ear.

  3. Ice in the Water Bowl: You know how you give me fresh water every day? Good. Now, put ice cubes in it. Lots of ice cubes. I like to watch them float around like tiny cold ships. It’s mesmerizing and refreshing. Do it for yourselves too. Trust me, ice is life.

  4. Shade is Sacred: Those big trees outside? Yeah, they're not just for decoration. Go sit under them. Shade is your best friend. And don’t forget to thank me for this advice by opening the window for me so I can watch you suffer in the heat from the comfort of my cool, shady spot.

  5. Wet Towel Tents: I saw this trick once when you tried to cool me down with a damp towel. Guess what? It works! Drape a wet towel over something and crawl under it. Instant cool fort. It’s like magic, but wetter.


Today, I stared at the sun, hoping it would get the message and go away. It didn’t. Instead, it mocked me by getting even hotter. So, I retreated to my favorite shaded nook, and now I plan to stay here until the sun apologizes and behaves itself.

Remember humans, embrace the laziness. Channel your inner cat. And if all else fails, just keep bringing me treats and maybe, just maybe, I'll share my cool spot with you.

Until the world chills out (literally),

Gryzka the Cat
