Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2004In the heat of the night
Sweltering (for England) night last night at 21 degrees C, 69 F. Somehow I thought my three masters might scatter to cooler climes. No such luck :-( Bandit maintained his usual vigil lodged against my feet. Pericles kept station in his customary place beside my stomach. Snowball for some obscure reason of his own left his usual chair nearby and decided to take up residence next to my pillows right beside my head. All of them seemed to be exuding heat like stoves. Presumably they'd taken the view that there's no such things as "too warm". A disturbed night was had by all. But as a devout slave of course I'm grateful that their favours aren't just for winter. I think....... Purrs to all, in particular to those in need. I'm afraid I don't log on often enough to be in time with individual replies but the thought is there anyway. Gordon, Bandit, Pericles & Snowball.

No [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >--Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- This reminds me of a joke I saw many years ago here in the US. Two gentlemen were walking down the street. It is in the summer and one says to the other "Let's go over to Celsius' house. It's only 28 degrees over there." Cloudier here in Cornwall, mainly a balmy 25 (77) during the day, but it resolutely refuses to cool down at night :-( Sadly I had my 'scope & card out for the Transit of Venus (but why does she need a Ford van?) but the clouds parted 5 mins after it ended. Typical! Never mind, I'll be cursing the cold & damp in five months! Purrs Gordon, Bandit, Pericles & Snowball > My thermometer managed to reach 32C today - Norfolk. Phew!

Its the 35C that we get in summer thats hard to sleep in!

Add about 90% relative humidity, and it's not pleasant. I have a little air conditioner for my bedroom. It's not a luxury, here. ~~~~~~ Life without cats would be only marginally worth living.

It's not a luxury, here. I understand that completely. Air conditioning isn't a luxury here, either. People die every year, everytime we have a heat wave. Mostly the elderly. It's tragic. Sherry >>Add about 90% relative humidity, and it's not pleasant. >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >Sherry I remember last summer, during a severe heat wave in France, several thousand people died. Apparently, every takes a 6 week vacation at the same time, so nobody was checking in on the elderly, and the hospitals were seriously understaffed. How tragic and unnecessary. I'd like to think it won't happen again, but it seems that many people seem to think the French don't learn well from mistakes. I personally don't know enough to form an informed opinion. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

It was downright chilly today when I was on the riding mower and it started drizzling, must have been in the low 70s with a wicked wind producing no telling what wind chill ;-) SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html >> Sweltering (for England) night last night at 21 degrees C, 69 F. >> Somehow I thought my three masters might scatter to cooler climes.

No > such luck :-( Cooler Climes??? I'm just trying my best to keep my apartment at 72 F with the temps climbing into the 90s here. My two are glad to curl up with me while the air-conditioners blow a steady stream of cold air. They think that is pleny cold enough. And when I walk in from the outside, the sweat on my body feels like it is turning to ice cubes at 72F. I can't imagine this being considered warm. Bridget - who like ice cubed sweat :) >Cooler Climes??? I'm just trying my best to keep my apartment at 72 F >with the temps climbing into the 90s here.

When it gets 100+ outside, we set the a/c for 78-80 degrees (if we don't, the electric bill is astronomical)...Eighty degrees with ceiling fans feels downright cool when you come in from outside. The cats don't complain much, but they *really* stretch out to sleep. It's true cats get longer the hotter it gets. Sherry In the fine newsgroup "rec.pets.cats.anecdotes", "Exocat" <xgdouglas@freeuk.com> artfully composed this message within <news:1086714508.21336.0@spandrell.news.uk.clara.net> on 08 Jun 2004: > Sweltering (for England) night last night at 21 degrees C, 69 F. Purrs to your kitties for cooler nights. They'd never survive here! 80 F here indoors. Upstairs, anyways. Downstairs is a good 10 degrees cooler but they prefer to be up here. :) SignatureCheryl Wow, it's been 18 months since I last felt temperatures as cold as 21C. That was when we last visited Canada. Here, I can't even get it below 25C inside with the aircon on full blast. 25C feels very cold to me. In Bangkok, on the skytrain, they have the temp set at 23C and that is so cold to me, I carry around a small sweater! -- Britta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr. I have an alarm clock that's covered in fur!
