Here on the west coast of Florida, it gets pretty hot in the summer. It seems almost every afternoon the temperature is at or near 95 degrees Fahrenheit. There is also a high humidity in the summer that makes being outside during midday quite unpleasant. We try to limit our outdoor activities to the mornings or late afternoons.
Chris and Puck feel that way too. Often they use that time to nap on the sofa or, in Chris’s case, find a human to bother. Frankie is different. I often look out the window to see him napping on the patio during the hottest part of the afternoon. He must be part camel or something because he spends much of his day outside in the heat and does not seem to be bothered by it in the least. Perhaps he still retains some of the traits of his distant ancestor, the African Wildcat.

your photos are just adorable! Maybe he likes the heat on his belly? Kinda like a heating pad 🙂
Perhaps. Sometimes lying in the warm sun can feel good.
Shivers… it’s hot for me too. I feel like I’m cooking out there in this heat – snorts. And no it doesn’t smell like bacon – PLOL (piggy laughing out loud). XOXO – Bacon
You’re such a ham. 😉
Snorticles and rolls around laughing.. of course in air conditioning. Snorts. XOXO – Bacon
Great photos, I especially love the one of Frankie in the bowl on the table.
He is so cute in that bowl.
I dunno – I think sun puddles rule! But we have very little humidity here.
The humidity does make the heat worse, but I will take hot and humid over cold and dry.
Some of these photos are absolutely priceless, especially the ones in the bowl and in the recumbent seat. Some of us are very happy on the Catio when it is super hot and humid and some of us don’t want any part of it. Must have something to do with genetics.

I think that genetics is right. Frankie probably has a high tolerance for heat.
Frankie sure gets a lot of use out of the patio. 🙂
He just loves it but surprisingly, Chris and Puck were on the patio lying in the cat perch this morning while Frankie was napping inside on the dining room table. Go figure.
I want to come and visits yous!
Kisses

“He must be part camel” HAHAHAHA! That made my day

This is from 2014 for Throwback Thursday. Back then we had a nice patio for the cats. Hopefully, someday we will again.
Frankie does look like he’s enjoying the heat and the sun all right, and he looks so precious in that bowl! Most of our cats have always loved a summer sun soak, maybe they were also enjoying the heat.
I think they do like a little heat.
Frankie is just a heat-seeking critter!
He sure is. 🙂
Now that’s a whole lot of happy going on! We love the west coast of FL and have often thought of living somewhere there.
We love it here. The traffic is bad but everything else is great.
There were a lot of nice napping places there.
It was great there.
