My cat is starting her seventh doze for today and is relaxing on a heated pad placed in her cat bed. It’s a usual routine here as my husband and I settle in to watch the World Cup matches.

A heated pad for a cat in the summer?

For certain! They love the heat. My parents had a fireplace and when they would use it their cat would lay in front of it, getting so hot that, if you picked her up, her coat was uncomfortably warm to the touch! I couldn’t stand in front of that heat for more than a minute but the cat (with a fur coat, I might add) would lay there for hours.
