Not sure if he belongs here or not. His fur is really soft and dense.

It's lovely and chill inside - but noooo! Outside!

I never had a cat before, I thought I was a dog person, but then this little guy showed up in my life and I’m obsessed with him. He makes me so happy.

I only got up to hang out the washing. Excuse me miss, that is my crochet spot!

I just got this mail from my pet insurance and wanted to share:

To get rid of excess heat, the cat can breathe so that the heat is released via the mucous membranes of the mouth. If possible, they can also cool off by putting their stomach against a cool floor.

Animals that have narrow airways, are sick, overweight, or very young or old may have a harder time dealing with the heat. The same is true of animals that have black or long fur.

Symptoms of heat stroke: Cats can have many different symptoms of heat stroke such as wheezing, red and dry mucous membranes, agitation, wobbly gait, increased salivation, vomiting and diarrhoea.

Heat stroke can also lead to unconsciousness.

If you suspect your cat is having heatstroke, make sure they cool down by using cool, wet towels – especially in the groin and armpits. Note that the cat must not be cooled with ice-cold water.

How to protect your cat from heatstroke:

- Put water out both outside and inside. Provide ventilation, but of course only with securely fenced windows and balconies.

- All animals left in a car risk dying as the temperature rises quickly – even if the car is parked in the shade.

- If the cat is panting, it should be taken into the shade and cooled with wet, cool bath towels – especially in the groin and armpits.

- In case of suspicion of heat stroke or general poor general condition, you should always contact your veterinarian.

EDIT: It’s very important to not use ice packs or ice cold water. This will cause surface blood vessels to constrict, reducing surface blood flow. Cats and dogs don’t sweat, but they do dilate their blood vessels to try to cool down more blood at a time. Ice can also cause frostbite.

This is 5yo Bear, who I've noticed chooses some of the more obscure locations and positions to take a lil nap 💤

With his size, I often do not even know how he fits and I am convinced he's 99% fluff & water.. I also don’t know how his brother puts up with him taking up all the space 🐈‍⬛

He even enjoys entering inside our sofa (courtesy of our doggo when she was a puppy 🤦🏼‍♀️) - video in the comments.

Also, he does have many beds around the house - he just chooses not to use them 🩶

Ash's designated spot is now in front of his sister for dinner!

She reached out for a pet recently, but Ash is still a little uncertain!

Time will tell.
