When it’s hot, there’s only one thing to do in the afternoon … nap! The cats have been quite entertaining this past week, seeming to capture the essence of summer in their napping poses. I caught Puffy the other day on the couch, completely abandoned to the summer heat.
I have to admit I was a little jealous, because this is exactly what I felt like doing instead of sitting behind the computer and writing!
Sometimes they just seem limp … it’s exhausting being a cat on the Amalfi Coast in the summer, I guess.
Ocassionally, when it’s not too much work, they cuddle a little bit. But only until one of them wakes up enough to be annoyed with the other, and that usually leads to a little tift.
And after all that exertion, it’s time for another nap …

Hi Laura …Oooooh sooooooooo relaxed .. just like out cats used to do. Also if we were on the sofas and got up , they would soon jump in our empty space 🙂
Laura says
Ciao Anne! Yes … cats certainly do epitomize the idea of relaxing! I think I need to take some lessons from them … 🙂
saretta says
What cuties! Oh, to nap the luxurious nap of the lazy cat! 😉
Laura says
Ciao Saretta! I know … they tend to do that when I’m at work on the computer. How rude! 🙂
Linda says
Cats. Such lazy animals. But you can’t help but love them.
Laura says
Ciao Linda! They are especially lazy this time of year. I can’t say I blame them in this heat we’ve had the last week. Thankfully, it has cooled down a little bit!
Sheila says

Ciao Sheila! Me, too. They look so serene!! 🙂
Sandra says

Laura says
Ciao Mom! Yes … the cats have certainly figured out the best way to stay cool and relaxed … nap!!

Aren’t animals intelligent? – They always find a cool place!
Laura says
Ciao Pat! And Puffy is particularly clever at finding cool places where he’s not supposed to be. 🙂
Dotti G says
Glad to see Puffy is feeling better. What a life these cats have. Right now, mine are home sleeping in front of the fan.
Laura says
Ciao Dotti! Yes, what a relief that he’s doing so well now. Thanks! He has a special food that we give him now, and we’ll hope that doesn’t happen again! Puffy is still afraid of the fan … but I think he’ll figure it out soon enough! 🙂

Oh you make me miss our Giordano so much! Happy to see such happy kitties though — and they *definitely* have the right idea in this heat!
Laura says
Ciao Michelle! Oh, I’m so sorry to make you miss Giordano. It’s so hard when you lose a pet! Sending you hugs!!
Linda Lou says
Your cats look so much like my “Sunshine” – he loves stretching his body out right underneath the ceiling fan in our bedroom-smart animal!!
Laura says
Ciao Linda Lou! Now that’s a cool spot!! 🙂

These cats are totally charming – I need to take a cue from them with the beastly hot weather we’re having here in the states.
Laura says
Ciao Linda! They do provide wonderful napping and relaxing inspiration. 🙂 Hope it cools off for you soon!
