What does the cat thermometer read in your neck of the woods?

1. Very cute!

It's 84° Fahrenheit here this afternoon. :hi:

[TommyO]

2. For two of the boys, it's 90

but for my fluffy Maine Coon, he's flat on his back, directly beneath the ceiling fan, all four paws spread wide, showing where his junk used to be!

[LynneSin]

6. What is it with male cats wanting to show off their non-existant junk

it's just not there anymore - move on!

[TommyO]

7. I haven't the foggiest, though it's a little cooler here today

and he's not showing off the non-existent junk.

12. Gotta love Maine Coons!

Brianna is part Maine Coon, and she sleeps in these weird, upside down positions. On her back like a dead bug, stretched out like a piece of taffy, hanging half off of the bed, you name it.

[TommyO]

16. That's pretty much what Guy does, all kinds of weird positions, including "showing junk"

My other boy displays a lot of Scottish Fold characteristics, he has the body type, classic "buddha cat sitting position" and facial characteristics, but without the folded ears.

Here's a picture showing the "buddha cat position", though not of Phoenix himself:



edited to add: Just so you know, there are three cats here in the house, which is why I counted "two boys" and my Maine Coon. One of the boys, and the Maine Coon are mine, the third is my brother's cat.

3. Compromised data

Too much noise in the house thanks to the (outside) painters and the (inside) tile guy, electrician, and plumber/carpenter. All cats are coiled tightly, tails tucked in, just in case one of these guys gets a notion to hammer/saw/etc. in their immediate vicinity. Never mind that the most adventurous of the feline triple threat (read: dimmest bulb) is closed up in the back bedroom, far away from the power tools and open doors, while the other two have the freedom to make themselves scarce. :eyes:

8. Mine spent an entire week in the closet

when the workmen were in re-doing the kitchen.

[MorningGlow]

10. Yep, our alpha male (the chickenshit) went invisible for a while

We panicked--searched the whole house--terrified that he'd gotten out in order to get away from the noise. (All our cats are indoor kittehs.) We looked in closets, under beds, etc. etc. etc. Mr. MG found him in our son's closet--where I had looked TWICE!
Got new gray hairs from those 10 minutes, I swear. :scared:

4. 30

[Patiod]

9. You have the A/C on too high

obviously...

[sakabatou]

15. Riiiight

It couldn't be that she's sleeping on her favorite chair.

[Demoiselle]

5. A cat thermometer variation...

Not as precise as yours, but still:

When fall comes and the weather gets nippy, the cats climb back into bed with us.
When it gets warm, they sleep elsewhere.

11. mine is a squirrelometer

about 90

[charlie and algernon]

13. 70

the A/C is perfect

[Silver Swan]

14. My Maine Coon

says it's between 50 and 70. It is actually about 76 outside, but she is old and likes the heat.

She does have a pose we call "Super Kitty," in which she lies prone with her front legs stretched way out in front of her, like Superman flying through the air!

[Patiod]

17. We call that pose "Scratch My Back, Dammit"

Because she usually does it after flopping in front of us dramatically so we will notice all the cat back that needs scratched.
