Michael has worked out a way
to beat the summer heat. She’s discovered cooler bags, the ones you can get for
the supermarket when you’re stocking up on groceries for a field trip. They’re
padded, cool (hence the name – though they are cooler if you whack an icebrick or
frozen dinner in them), and big enough for a plus-sized cat (who has lost
another 400grams on her diet thank you very much) to crash out on in this
unrelenting Sydney heat.
 |
| If you position it the right way the cooler bag provides its own little head rest. Not sure why Mike feels the need to wedge her buttocks beneath the furniture but I am sure there is a rationale. |
The guinea pigs have a
little ice-bucket in their enclosures to provide a coolness-gradient, and Phil
crashes out near a fan. Fortunately the reptile member of the household is
thriving in the heat.
THIS JUST IN. Elephants at Taronga Zoo are keeping cool too.
