German: Bei 33 Grad im Schatten kann Koda einfach nur noch abhängen
I see so many posts with 30+ degree temperature. You live in you house with that as ambient!?
Nah it’s a heatwave in Germany, doesn’t mean its just as hot inside but still.
Give him an ice cube on a small plate.
we have these little bowls, we call them pinch bowls and salsa bowls (i use them for my mise en place with spices that i need a salt pig or something similar, or when i’m having a small bowl of midnight salsa). they hold about 1 cup / 250mL. maybe half that, i’ve never really measured. for the cats we’ll put in an ice cube or two and some water when it’s hot. it’s a little supplement in addition to their fountains and they love it.
We had a cat when I grew up, a lovely female cat with completely black fur, short but compact, with tuffs of hair on her ears.
I remember the first time I gave her some ice on a plate, it was summer, 30+ C in Sweden, she lay in the shadow under a table on the deck of our house, seemingly completely exhausted.
So I got an ice cube and put it on a plate and brought it to her.
She was interested and sat up straight and looked at the cube, gave it a sniff and a small lick, and clearly was interested, but a bit confused.
It wasn’t long before she realized that if she just waited a bit she could drink some cool refreshing water, and got excited.
She looked intently at the ice cube and then gave it a few licks, then back to looking and so on.
It was quite interesting to see.
This does wonders, my cat loves it on a hot day. I usually hold it in my hand, otherwise it’s just a wet toy for him to bat at.
That’s a cool tree Koda is on, custom?
Yeah I built it for Koda and Lilly as a parting gift when I had to separate him from Miez. I can upload an album of the whole build process if you’re interested.
Ooh that’s beautiful. We just got a “higher end” touting solid wood, and it ended up being hollow MDF, so I’m not all that happy about it. I’ve always wanted to attempt a personal build, and yours scratched my brain nicely. Thanks!
Fun fact: It was a really a custom build by exact specifications. My friend even sent me a FreeCAD model beforehand to ensure it fit their room perfectly. So I had much to go on, but still was learning tons about how to make it into reality.
How old is Koda, I wonder
Koda and Miez are twelve years old, born in October 2013.
i can tell they are well-loved and happy.
Look at that little toofer!
Koda need woda
Taking it over easy
Same, Koda
I feel you Koda. I feel you.
That’s one hot pussy!
