it is extremely hot here too.. that's why we usually give Gabby the door in the morning and night during the summer months. During winter she is a little out of luck unless it is a random nice day.. lol today actually isnt too bad.. it is only like 79° with a real feel of 90° so it isn't bad but still warm
Early mornings and late evenings are the only time we have a chance to open up windows for our furry hunters.

You're far from alone in that.

Yeah, it's that time of year for all of us in the so-called northern hemisphere (on a round planet, it's somewhat debatable). 
He is like this is my spot lol
My bathroom is about the size of a postage stamp. So I walk in and what do I see???
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. Though I agree with "experts" in advocating for keeping cats indoors only, safe and healthy, I am glad this adorable(!) boy has a caregiver.
Oh, I am more than richly compensated for being his gofer, caregiver, sounding board, heating pad on cold nights, and amanuensis. I consider it the greatest honor to serve him.I agree keeping cats indoors for their safety and they have a healthier life in general... that being said i dont judge anyone who does let their cat out but i will let them know the benefits of indoor only and risks of outside.. I was concerned he didn't have a home and was so relieved when I found that he did. I let her know he was at my house outside and that I gave him a little food and water. She started trying to apologize about him being on my property and I interrupted her saying it was no problem at all I just wanted to let her know especially since I fed him..
He makes the best CEO/COO/CFO
I don't think anyone could do as good a job as Elvis lol you gotta ask him for a raise... this is kinda backwards.. him being ceo coo cfo and he gets all the treats and toys etc... but I guess you do have the best part his unconditional love.
I actually see Gabby as my baby like you said we are responsible for their wellbeing, health, pretty much everything.. I agree with that 100 percent. I hate it when people let their cats outside because it has been proven that on average they have a shorter lifespan.Oh, I am more than richly compensated for being his gofer, caregiver, sounding board, heating pad on cold nights, and amanuensis.

And not to put too fine a point on it, but after losing three of my loved ones as a direct result of their being outside, I will never waver from my position and yes, I do hold accountable those thoughtless, ignorant, callous or ? people who let their cats roam. No parent worth his/her title would let a toddler kid roam the streets unsupervised and then if something happened to it, claim to have no responsibility for the outcome. Cats are not toddlers, obviously, but they are classified as "domestic animals" and as such, they are under our care. We are responsible for their wellbeing, health, care, and ultimately, survival. And we are not doing our best job if we ignore any of these, for any reason. Believe me, I've heard 'em all.View attachment 455282
Coming into the dining room from the kitchen and greeted by, "Yeah? I'm readin' the paper here."
Thanks, but it's not really amazing - it's a tiny room and she's right there!
Hadji used to love sitting in the loo (separate room in that house)Yeah, possums (possi?), raccoons, skunks, wombats (just kidding!) and sub rosa humans often prowl at night. Cats are known for being very vigilant. I've had several startled cats growl at the window when they sense/see/hear something unfamiliar.

It's like that here, too! Not as bad in my part of the country as you get it in California, because it's not on the edge of desert and it's near the sea, but even southern Australian summers are vile as far as I'm concerned.A fellow hyperacusic! This is a conundrum for me all during the hot season, which here in la-la land can run far longer than just 3 months and be far more severe than just "warm"...

Yeah. These days, I guess that's not all that unusual. I won't even start, but I could write a rather hefty book about how people are failing at everything, if only I had the time *and anyone cared to read it, which they wouldn't. Preaching to the choir ain't my thing. Those who really need to learn and apply what they learn wouldn't.*
So true. It is so sad but anyway back to our precious fur babies I just walked in and she is on her new felt like tunnel which isn't that sturdy when she is standing on only one square area it kind of sags lolYeah.
