Cats is cats! Your assessments are spot on! But leaving the water around is good - they'll yum it up when they want! And to keep yourselves hydrated - lots of........water? 🍷🤣

Hi Annemarie and Kath, hope you and cats are all well. I have put out two bowls of water in the coolest part of house for our cat ,Pebbles. She comes in, looks at them, will have a little sip then goes to the pond and has a drink..!!!! Her favourite spot out of the sun to sleep is the shade of the summerhouse under the sun lounger..😃 We have also got one of those cool mats from Pets At Home that she can also lay on and they do feel quite cool to the touch..😊. Enjoy the weather and stay safe. Regards Gary

Cat's are a always fussy. You can not help to love them. Have 3 boy's that will mug you and another 4 that's iffy. It's what my lady does. Love them all. The 3 are because their parents went into a pet not allowed place. The boy's are so sweet, you get mugged every time you go in. Precious.I give them my heart because I love my wife. But my feeling for my children hasn't changed. Love all my friends and family. Thank you for sharing.

Love them! I would recommend, as I grew up in a continually very hot & sunny place, you may want to find a solid colored, navy blue umbrella to give you deep shade & drop the ambient temperature down more. The yellow stripe is beautiful, but for the hottest days, darker would shade you deeper. 😁

Don't take it personally, I've just bought my two dogs a paddling pool to help them cool down when they are in the garden. Yes, I have been in it more than they have "to show them it is safe, not deep and definitely not a dog eating whirlpool" whilst dogs won't even look at me splashing about as they walk past me to go back into the house. Still, on the bright side - I have a paddling pool woop woop !

Question: Ladies, how do you deal during summer with flies & mosquitoes..... we have them bad here in Australia, Annamarie you'll know what I mean.....we have to have fly screens on windows etc.... do you need them on the Narrowboat??!!!!

My dog , sure she thinks she's a cat! Sits wherever she likes, ignores all foods put down for her until she's really hungry and has exhausted all attempts to steal her slaves food. Has her own fan and multiple water bowls. Will stand in front of the fan for about a minute and then buggers off outside to lie on the patio. It's 40+ Celsius on the flagstones but she doesn't care. Are you sure that cats and dogs can't crossbreed ? :D

terry boyer Hi, Terry! It’s not so much of any fighting here. The older cat is the queen, never so much as a growl or swat as a glare which commands the others respect. The young cat learned it quickly which also keeps the dogs in line. Dogs, for their part, would rather romp and stomp with each other and give the cats a wide berth.
