Kaboodle’s summer trick – ice cubes in the shade!Pic: Kitten Kaboodle

Kaboodle heads straight for the shade and cools off with a fun game of chasing ice cubes. Not only does this keep him entertained, but it also ensures he’s staying hydrated. Who knew that something as simple as ice could be so much fun?

Keeping Your Cat Cool

Whether it’s lounging in style or chasing icy thrills, it’s important to offer your cat plenty of shade and fresh water during the summer. Cats may love the warmth, but they also need to stay cool and hydrated. Setting up a shaded area in your home or garden, and offering cool treats like ice cubes, can make a big difference. And remember, your cat’s comfort is key – sometimes, that means letting them enjoy a lazy afternoon nap or a playful romp in the shade.

So, how does your cat like to chill out during the hot summer days? Do they have a favorite spot, a cool treat, or a quirky habit that helps them beat the heat? We’d love to hear your stories and see your pictures! Share them in the comments below and let’s keep our kitties cool and happy all summer long.

Respect Your Cat Day

Apparently, on March 28th 1384, King Richard II issued a royal decree banning the eating of cats in England.

So What Is Respect Your Cat Day? Pic: Maxima This isn’t just a day for giving...

The research indicates that cats, just like dogs, can find joy and satisfaction in retrieving objects. So, what's the motivation behind this behaviour? Well, it seems to be a combination of factors.
