Had a shocking night with the pooches π©it was so warm and then we got the thunderstorms- so had to close all the windows - Elsa wasnβt too phased by the storm but seemed to be more stressed π« because Riley was panting so much ,Elsa then started panting - I put some iced water down for them both. .The problem is they wonβt sleep downstairs We have tried it in the past - Hubby semi- slept with his hand on Riley most of the night and madam just kept coming to tell me she was warmπ© I donβt think we got 1 hour sleep and when things seemed to calm down Freddy came to the bedroom door scratching and screaming π I think I might spray Riley and Elsa tonight with some cool water and I will just have to deal with the grooming later. I think we have rain and more thunderstorms later Grrrr - glad hubby is working from home πwish I was lol π I feel for you chantel they both have so much coat to deal with , at least Beau went to the Parlour before all this heat hit. Have you tried a cooling coat for them to sleep in , or are they dangerous if they chew them ? something to do with the contents in side. I might be getting confused with the cooling mats thou .

oh poor you, hubby, Riley & Elsa chantel. Trust a cat to not let it bother him until he wanted attention/food!! My 2 seem bothered by Monday night's noise, they were even out when the lightening was going on but had come in for the night when the noise started, the rain noise certainly outdid the thunder Last night was quiet or at least if it wasn't I slept through it. Woke to sunshine but there had obviously been some rain overnight as the lawn was wet. Been getting hotter all day, at least it drying my washing. Its a bit warm for the cats & me but they are at least finding shade. Roman is in the living room with me, the coolest room in the house as it faces west & the sun's not that side yet. Lexie is in the dining-room under a chair near the doorway into the conservatory & Osiris was in the conservatory under the platform of the climber. Couldn't work out why they would be in the hottest rooms as they are facing east & the dining room is off the conservatory. However I think it may be because I'd got the fan on (not very strong fanning) but it wasn't set to oscillate & was aimed at the climber & the doorway into the dining-room, so although I couldn't feel the effect on temperature as its a floor standing cylinder fan heater, which can be set to fan only, they may have been finding it cool.

We've had thunder storms this week and it's still getting hotter. I feel like I'm melting. I'm now back at work, and I'm coming home every day feeling like I'm suffering from heat exhaustion. (No air con, just the fire escape doors open and a fan that I've had to take in from home.) PS it's now raining, but not getting any cooler.

Well, I had my wish for a thunderstorm. A big black cloud came over about 8pm and I thought I'd better get the cats in from the pen quickly. My neighbour was watering her garden and I told her not to bother as a storm was coming. Just as I got all the cats in the sheet lightening started and then the rumbling thunder. It was continuous for almost 3 hours. We had some downpours and some forked lightening with it. It cooled down outside but inside was so, so hot. I haven't seen Tay the stray since Monday but I left some food out for him and it was gone this morning.

Phew much cooler last night - although I did leave the bedroom door open a little to let the breeze through - I was just worried that Freddy would wonder in and out tormenting Elsa but I never heard him and believe it or not he did not come pestering for food at 5:30 we all slept until 7:15 am I canβt remember the last time we had a full nightβs sleep because Freddy alway comes scratching at our bedroom door between 5am-5:30am. It was either a coincidence that he was just tired or he wants the company- what ever it is Iβm going to leave the door open again and see what happens lol π
