Tig went out for all of fifteen minutes. He headed straight for the water dish when he got inside, and I expect he’s going to stay indoors until the heat breaks. The Magical Maine Coon Cat Coat doesn’t work in all weathers. It can’t defeate humidity.
I’m not planning to go out until much later myself. I have a wireless thermometer that now says it’s 97.9 degrees in the shade of my patio. It’s fluctuating about half a degree or so every few minutes. But really—the difference between 97 and 98 degrees Fahrenheit is, well, negligible. Hot it hot. And today, it is very hot in Richmond.
Update: And less than an hour later, it’s twenty degrees cooler. A front moved through, bearing nasty thunderstorms.
It was one hot day today !!
