Tiger, beating the heat yesterday in his cabin

I put a frozen Coleman cold pack in the cabin. And drenched some little rugs with ice water to put on top of the vinyl roof.

6. Yep, he seems to be OK with staying up here all the time now. I'm glad he's 15 years old. I worry about him.

4. Nope, after the winter, he settled down and took up residence on my porch. I'm glad to see it.

It’s a big relief to me to see him out here in the terrible weather and stuff The spot where he used to crawl under the deck across the yard has been kind of developed by the new tenant with a container garden, etc. So he sticks around and he’s got a nice place to live up here he uses dried leaf pile for his litter box, I have to clean it out from time to time

Tiger is evidently very appreciative of your effective efforts at maintaining his comfort level! 🐯

We’ll bring the inside to you; rugs, AC, big bowl of water. Your own little house.

We just can’t do enough for these cats. 🐱
