A Hot and Humid Mancat Monday

Evan has been enjoying his window time before we close things up for this sweltering week. Today is supposed to be the coolest day of the week at 90°F.


Honestly, I think the humidity is worse than the heat at this point. Last I checked it was 92% humidity outside. What's the weather like in your corner of the world? Evan and all of us here hope you're staying cool!

Happy Monday, friends!

Flashback Doodle of the Day

Here's yet another flashback doodle that was heavily inspired by my summertime desire for autumn and Halloween.

Tip of the Day

Today's tip for taking your cat to the vet is to consider using a pheromone spray, such as Feliway. A synthetic pheromone such as this can potentially have a calming effect for your cat. One idea is to spray the pheromone into your cat's carrier, or onto a blanket placed in your cat's carrier. This could potentially help make the experience of getting into the carrier more calm for your cat, as well as potentially make the car ride and time at the vet a calmer experience. Also consider taking the pheromone spray with you to the vet, where you can spray it in the air in the exam room, or again spray it on a blanket or toy you might have brought along to the vet for your cat. Of course a pheromone spray might not work the same for every cat, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to try it in case it might help your kitty feel calm and soothed.

Our temps are going up and down, Evan, but the real issue is the continued fug of wildfire smoke.
Hoping it blows elsewhere, at least for a few days.

Evan is a cutie. It is very humid here too and the air quality isn't that good either. Nice drawing and excellent tips. XO

We are almost at 100, windy and dry. Typical west Texas.

Would you believe our temps stayed in the 60s today? 70s for the week, then back in the 60s next weekend. I'm in heaven. The local news said summer steams to have run out of steam up here, and I sure hope it's gone for good.

We here in Maryland US are getting oddly comfortable Summer weather. Something about old mountains to our west and winds from the ocean. We dont unnerstand that but we like it.

We have about the same weather as you. Swamp weather we are used to, but it's even hotter than usual. Stay indoors, stay cool!
