Mr. Grey does NOT like the heat--not at all! But over the years we've managed because I have a cement basement that's cool and he takes it over when we have heat waves like this one.
Anyway, I was talking about airconditioning.
He has had a few bouts with urinary tract infections, as some male cats are prone to. His first stay in hospital was 4 days in August of 2006 and he had an air conditioned suite! *laughing my ass off*
When he came home I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible, so, I rushed out and bought a nice size unit for my tiny house so he wouldn't have to navigate steps. Got it all installed in the front bedroom window, and turned it on. Yeah, my baby was going to have every comfort possible to recuperate. There was one problem: it was upstairs and he wasn't!
The airconditioner was taken out a few weeks later, never to be used again. When it's hot--he lays under the table it's stored on in the basement. End of story.
That does bring me to furry creatures, and a few that aren't--you all know this is a subject near and dear to my heart. The next time you feel hot, look at your furfriend, think of the beautiful, wild, animals nearing extinction or struggling to eek out one more day--they aren't complaining. They'll show you how to be cool!! Sit or lie down, preferably by water, don't move too much, and once in a while--thank whomever you want--you're alive and free!
And knowing me, you'd knew there would be at least one because I thought it was just cute and irresistable! This picture is from PA wildlife.

Oh, my guess would be racoons got rabies from people!
My kitty Miranda has Maine Coon in her as well (I purposely searched one out) and has a lot of the same mannerisms as your little boy. This breed of cat is the best ever imho. They're like little humans.
Aren't they so sweet. My others are territorial but he accepted each of them when I brought them in as if they were his babies, and they wouldn't dare shoo him away when he enters their space!! I've had a few different breeds--I agree with you on this one!!
If I could have a cat it would be a Maine Coon. I hear they are loyal and protective. Oh! plot bunny!
lmao, Annie. My big guy did have a part in With Extra Cream. He loved his roll! My little one-eyed Jewel shows up belonging to the heroine in Guarded...and she bites the dog which causes quite a stir in the story!
Ting-Ting...?
Awww! Your kitty is cute! Here in Texas, it's ALWAYS hot. Don't know what you sissies on the east coast are complaining about...lol!
:D Cheers!
I don't get it either this is nothing compared to the desert where I used to live...days of 100s plus! I'd take that anyday to being cold.
Hey J, you know I am a philly girl and the heat is flat out gross. But I will take this over the snow.
I am a dog lover and my little bitch keeps panting and rolling around outside. I can't really do that.
The animals during this time that bug me are the humans. The ones peeing at the train station making humidified urined rent the air.
Awww! I wonder if we panted if it would help?!! lol I remember that urine smell in the cities when it's hot...phew!
