Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006Purrs that HRFL puts in an apperance soon please...
It's bloody hot here today. HRFL has been suffering badly from the heat. I *think* he is under all the brambles out in the back lane trying to escape from the fact it is so hot. It doesn't help that he is black. He went out about 6am and he didn't appear when I got home at lunchtime, which is very unlike him. Some purrs would be appreciated that he is OK and laid up somewhere and puts in an appearance once it is a bit cooler. Thanks Helen M > It's bloody hot here today.

Sending purrs that things cool down soon and that HRFL Tiger gets his furry behind home soonest. Here all the cats are either laying on the floor in the living room, or sacked out on the bed in my room. Both places have fans going as well as the ac. None of the cats have been in the enclosure since Monday. Pam S. > It's bloody hot here today. HRFL has been suffering badly from the > heat.

Purrs for His Royal Feline Lordship. I am sure he is holed up somewhere dark and shady. Signaturemonique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca > It's bloody hot here today. Here too in Leicestershire. It's my day off and I haven't been able to do *anything* except skulk in the house and wipe my brow every few minutes. I had a visitor this afternoon who has one of those posh cars that tell you the outside temperature: he said the car reported 37C. > HRFL has been suffering badly from the heat. > I *think* he is under all the brambles out in the back lane trying to > escape from the fact it is so hot.

He's not a mad dog or an Englishman so why would he? ;-) If he's found a cool place, that would be the best place for him to stay until this evening. It's sensible of him. > Some purrs would be appreciated that he is OK > and laid up somewhere and puts in an appearance once it is a bit cooler. Purrs coming that he is fine. Try not to worry (easier said than done, I know). I predict he will come home at dusk. Let us know when he does. Tweed > Thanks > Helen M HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched up. I think he has a favourite spot under all the brambles out the back, because he often emerges from the same place when I call him. Just not at lunchtime. It has been *VERY* hot here today and the temperature is now starting to drop, thank G*d. It wouldn't be so bad, but in the UK it is rare to have sunshine, let alone 37 degree heat and aircon!!! Thanks for the purrs for a paranoid momma. ;o) Helen M > It wouldn't be so bad, but in the UK it is rare to have sunshine, let > alone 37 degree heat and aircon!!! Isn't 37 degrees normal?

For England, absolutely not. 104F and we have no aircon in our houses. It has cooled down slightly but I am still uncomfortably hot with wet hair and face. I hate it.

Don't mind me, I was just making a dumb joke. 37 degrees is the "normal" temperature for the human body. (My conversion turns 37C into 98.6F, not 104F. The former is exactly the normal body temp. 104F would be a pretty high fever!)

I do that, too, but I guess with human body temperature, a few degrees off makes a big difference! Joyce > HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched > up.

Many cats dislike air-conditioning far more than they do heat. They find what we consider comfortable chilly. Jo > HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched > up. I think he has a favourite spot under all the brambles out the back, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Thanks for the purrs for a paranoid momma. ;o) > Helen M I understand, I've been worried about Ripley and Cav. Ripley's a BIG cat, and he's ten now. Cav has a heart murmur. Fortunately they're both sensible, and hid out all day under the big pine hedge in our back garden. It's constant shade, and I've put drinking water there for them so they don't have to move if they don't feel like it. I'm glad that Tiger is back :-) Jeanette > HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched > up.

Boyfie also disappeared for a while today and returned when the temperature dropped. Kitty laid on the spare bed and suffered from the heat. It's started to cool down now. Only in the 80's! We really don't do 90's in Britain. Tweed >> HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched >> up.

A man died from an apparent heatstroke here in Nashville, Tennessee, a couple of days ago. He collapsed and went into convulsions while walking. He had a history of heart trouble, which may have been a contributing factor, but the state medical examiner blamed his death on the heat, given that his body temperature was 107 degrees Fahrenheit (42 degrees Celsius). We have had several days that the temperature reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit, but Saturday's high is supposed to be only about 85 degrees, which will be much more comfortable. SignatureJohn F.

Everyday there is at least 10 calls due to the heat just for them Unofficially ( they will never admit it to the media as usual) Disney has at least 20 heat strokes or heat exhaustion in its theme parks that require evac which is of course provide by their own medical facilities >>> HRFL, as many predicted and I suspected (but worried anyway) has pitched >>> up.

I'm not sure I understand why this man's temperature was so much higher than the environmental temperature. Might he have had an infection? Joyce > > A man died from an apparent heatstroke here in Nashville, Tennessee, a > > couple of days ago.

Once that happens, your ability to shed heat becomes much less, and, unless you are in cold surroundings, your body temperature will climb rapidly. A human being at rest puts out about 1500 watts of heat, and even more when exercising. That is why, if you have a lot of people crowded into a room without enough ventilation, the temperature in the room will go up fast. SignatureJohn F.

A lot of medications can also have an effect on your ability to sweat. For example, a medicine prescribed to me a few months ago is known to impede sweat in some people. Most people don't experience this side effect to the degree that it would cause trouble, so they didn't bother to tell me. *groan* Just glad that I researched the medication before deciding on what to do that weekend.

Our forecast for Saturday is for between 113 and 117 F high. We are heading for the beach in the morning but have to come home Saturday night and Sunday may be just as bad.
