Flat Cat Syndrome

SNip




Fortunately, I have central air (living in East Texas, that ranks right up
there with food in my list of priorities). However, the air conditioning
system in an apartment I lived in years ago broke and couldn't be repaired
for several days while parts were on order -- during the hottest days of
the
summer, of course. I bought a large box fan to "tide us over" and would
carry it from room to room as I moved from one area or the other to work
or
sleep. The cat I had at that time caught on very quickly. As soon as I
picked up the fan to walk to another room, he would amble in behind me and
then stretch out directly in front of the new placement for the fan --
even
before it was plugged in!

I live in the SF Bay Area, and the climate here will ruin you for living
almost anywhere else in the world. MOST of the time, I can live quite
comfortably without Air Conditioning. Most of our heat waves only last
three days or so, and then it calms down when the fog rolls in. If I were
living in East Texas, or back on the East Coast or wherever the weather
doesn't cool off at night, I'd definitely want AC.

WHen the temps go over 100, that's when I
find cats stretched out on the bathroom linoleum behind the toilet.

Has anyone else noticed this phenomenon during the dog days of August?

My dogs do that kind of thing, even with good a.c. going.

wish we had just a bit of your warm weather. It has poured with rain for
more than 2 weeks, not one day without rain or thunderstorms. We had one
day of 90F two weeks ago and that was it. That was the summer.
Not that unusual. We don't often get summers as you know them.

LOL! We've had a cool summer here in Finland this year, but I do remember
that Flat Cat Syndrome from hotter ones. Another great term!
