It's my wife's thought that Karamaneh, our Siamese sleeps during
the long, hot summer days so that she can _bug_ us at night.
It's okay; she loves Kasramaneh deeply.

| Basil has thus far spent the summer on his back on my bedroom
windowsill, feet in the air. Looks dumb, but if it makes him happy...

Sammy was like that when he was an only cat - I got him
a kitten of his own and I don't think either of them
ever sleep now!

| 655.4 | They're basically lazy.. | VICKI::BULLOCK | Living the good life | Fri Jul 10 1987 09:51 | 17 |
| I used to feel bad that I left my cat alone all day, and wondered
if she got lonely. I have spoken to at least 4 vets about this,
and, to a man, they all snorted and said, "Cats as a rule sleep
85% (count 'em, 85%) of their lives away!" They seem to "come alive"
when we come home because they've been snoozing all day. Mine is
especially lazy on these hot, sticky days; they conserve their
energy that way, and stay cool.
Keep changing their water on hot days so that it's always fresh
and cold (I sometimes leave an ice cube in there when I know it
will be especially hot). Change the litter more frequently than
usual, and brush your cat at least once a day to get the loose fur
up. That alone will help the cat feel cooler.
Sorry to run on--I've just been thru this before!

| As a quote from a cat book said:
"Kittens open their eyes around 3 weeks of age, look around for
a day or two, then close them for the remainder of their lives"

| My "Kitty", like yours, spends most or her time in any window she
can find open, usually the kitchen or bedroom. When not in the
window she stays on the cool surfaces like the kitchen floor or
the top of the refrigerator. When she sees you coming she immediately
rolls on her back so you can rub her tummy. I've never seen a cat
that likes her tummy rubbed like "Kitty" does.
Cats are just plain lazy all the time, but I definately see a
difference in the heat. She is very lazy and purrs at the sight
of someone walking towards her. She only plays at night when it
is somewhat cooler.
She is a "Joy".

| Yes our cats do sleep more in the summer...
Instead of the normal 16 hours, they try and get in about 18 hours
per day (and nite). The rest of the time is taken up by eating and
trying to get us to feed them...
But I love 'em.
