It’s like a heat wave, burnin’ in my heart. If the forecasters are correct this week will see the first heatwave of the summer in this part of the world. A widespread, long-lasting heat wave will spread across much of Europe. Temperatures are set to soar above 30 degrees Celsius this week.
The front of my house with large windows faces the south, so I’m trying to reduce the solar heat gain by closing the drapes. I think Mr. Bowie doesn’t like the look of curtains closed.
Keep your pets safe and cool in the summer. Mr. Bowie gets plenty of fresh, clean water. I prefer something else…
Hands on Bowie & Jimi 
It boiling here too! No cat likes a closed curtain or door 😉
So true! Please keep cool…
Quite true, no cat likes a closed curtain, or blinds! The cat crew destroyed the blinds in my home office, as it was interfering with their view of the front garden. I gave up and took them down.
Well, you can’t argue with a cat…
The long side of my house faces east and I use curtains as a tool too; keeping the light out in the heat and letting it all in in the cold. MaChatte pushes them aside to look out too. Keep cool and drink lots of that………whatever it is that’s cool! Mr. Bowie will probably take long naps.
Well, it looks like Mr. Bowie’s sleeping non stop…
We already knew he was a smart cat. Napping when weather just doesn’t suit us is a good thing! I hope your heat wave doesn’t last too long.
Wish the temperature would drop 10 degrees… Well, I think I’m going to join Mr. Bowie. It’s too hot to work in the studio…
Mr. Bowie seems to miss the view. Stay cool, you two.
We are taking it easy, the both of us…
All we are seeing is RAIN. 😦 My Roses are getting drowned. 😦
Well, we can already use some rain over here…
You are more then welcome to ours!! 😉
Oh yes, that would be nice…
I will with focused attention, blow the clouds your way (what direction???) to make sure you get some rain. *sighs* It is is so wet here we have standing water on our backyard grass in places.
Mr. Bowie would love to have some standing water in our garden…
Keep cool Mr. Bowie.
Fresh and cool water for my furry friend…
Stay cool, Herman and Mr. Bowie! Some iced catnip tea for today! It was 92 degrees here yesterday. Looks like August out there where we are. Mr. Nano says stretching out on the floor is the coolest place.
Mr. Nano is a wise cat. It looks like Mr. Bowie is following his advice. He stays indoors during the day…
Stay indoors! The heat wave hasn’t come here yet… We are still between spring and summer days… But I hate hot summer days. Stay cool, Thanks and Love, nia
Thank you, Nia! It’s a little bit too hot right now… I’m going to join Mr. Bowie for a nap.
yes this is good for you both 🙂 You are welcome, love, nia
Kitties don’t like closed drapes. But a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do to keep cool.
But kitties rule the world. So, they got to see the world outside…
True! So True!
not only curtains… in my son’s room, the door of the wardrope never stays closed! Because my cat opens, I close… She hates to see it closed. As if we are playing with each other like that. 🙂
As I said before… cats rule the world!
Here is so cold now…
Oh no… I will send you some sunshine!
We’re melting too, Mr Bowie. It’s 40 degrees in the garden. COOL Pawkisses for the Day 🙂 ❤
Keep cool, my friends! Have a lot ice cream and fresh water…
Binnenblijven is de boodschap of in een zwembad of bad gaan liggen!
We volgen deze raad zeker op…
We are very cool here right now but earlier it was quite nasty high humidity as well as heat. My gang are lucky to have windows on the shaded side of the house and are spoiled by bubbling kitty fountains in the bedroom and kitchen. Tell Mr. Bowie there will be nothing stirring out in that heat, dusk is a better time for looking out the window. A good time for you to join him with a cup of coffee. Stay cool..
Thank you, Angela. It seems your cats are very lucky. We will follow your advice…
Bubbling kitty fountains… looks very good!
Ditto here on the fresh water for the cat and alternative refreshment for ME……it’s cooled down here a bit thanks to the daily rain but overall – it’s going to be a long, hot summer for sure!
Pam
Let’s try to enjoy the summer, Pam. Even if it’s very hot outside…
Take care! I know my cats don’t like it when I take away their window views, but they’ve destroyed enough venetian blinds now that I know to leave a little room at the bottom for them to nose their way onto that favorite window sill where they can watch birds in the fir tree!
Well Dough, we know we always have to listen to our cats. They rule the world out there…
And we are having rain in July…. the cats can’t decide if they want to be outside taking a shower or indoors in front of the fan.
Mr. Bowie loves running (and dancing) in the rain…
Keep cool everyone, have a nice relaxing summer! 🙂
Thank you, my friend! Wishing you also a very good summer…
🙂
We empathize Mr. Bowie…mama won’t let us out on the porch if it is too hot 😦 . She also draws the curtains and shades inside…perhaps you could come and play with us?! Bagheera & Dylan
“Meow!” Mr. Bowie says he would love to join you, my friends!
It’s too hot ! I live up in a top room and the roof has just absorbed all the heat from the day and it’s basically a greenhouse.
Oh my goodness… Get yourself a cool cocktail and ice cream, Kenny!
Trying to send my rain your way. My kitties love watching rain fall. Weather is difficult for animals. They can’t just cool off by taking a cold shower. Though they can warm up by diving under your covers! 😉
Mr. Bowie also loves watching and running in the rain. But right now we could use some of your rain…
Trying to send now. I’ve got all eight kitties doing a rain dance on Mr Bowie’s behalf! 🙂
Thank you so much, Koko! Give my and Mr. Bowie’s regards to the kitties…
Wow. I hope you and Mr Bowie stay cool! Ellie
Thank you, Ellie. Mr. Bowie is staying indoors today. They just said on the radio today will be the hottest day of the year so far…
It’s going to be a lot warmer for you and Mr. Bowie than it will be for me and T. It’s July now and today’s temps were only 62˚F!
Today we will reach 102 or 103 °F! I just bought extra ice cream this morning…
Oh, my goodness! That is really warm! Hope you and Mr. Bowie were able to stay cool. B)
We will worked it out, SHG!
Record heat here in the US too- glad you can keep Mr.Bowie cool!
Oh yes! I bought extra vanilla ice cream this morning… Feel free to join us!
😺 ICE CREAM!!? *(ZOOMS out the door)* YAHOO! On my way!🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
🙂 🙂 🙂
Mr B will be pleased the blinds are drawn when the heat kicks in. 😀
Mr. Bowie stays indoors today. It’s way too hot right now… He can go for a walk when it’s dark.
Soda? LOL … Look after yourselves! Stay cool 😀
Thank you, Julie. I bought extra vanilla ice cream this morning… That’s really cool!
The worst the neighbors could think is that you’re vampires. 🙂
Better to keep the curtains and drapes closed.
Looking around I can see a lot of vampires living in the neighbourhood… Better rush to the store for garlic…
I know Mr. Bowie is a cool cat, but his human should stay cool too!
Maybe chocolate ice cream can help?
Oh yes…!! That sounds very good to me, Carine!
Wow… amazing light and great B&W!
have a nice Sunday afternoon,
Vinc
Thank you so much, Vincent.
Sorry for the late reply, I missed your comment…
Right now It is very hot here too
But…Oh…it is hard for a cat to guard his domain with the curtains closed.
Because of that, I got a few holes poked in my curtains and blinds too over time.
That’s a great idea, Mary. Guess Mr. Bowie would like that too…
