28 Sunny Little Kitties Ready for Summertime Excitement

Ready for summer? Well, Mother Earth doesn't care! It's May, which means there's going to be sunshine, heat, and the need for daytime ice cream coming sooner than you think!

Summertime is on its way. Maybe you live in Alaska, or somewhere else cold, and you don't feel the impending presence of summer's heat just yet. For some of us in the world, it feels like beach days are right around the corner. Summer doesn't just belong to people; summer is here for cats, dogs, and anyone else! For cats, they just love embracing the sun. It's strange to think that even with a warm fur coat they're happy as can be soaking up the sun as it beams down on them in halations from a window. They love to embrace every bit of warmth, and sun-soaked moments the season is offering.

There's something about cats in the summer that feels right. They may be somewhat temperamental, fickle, and associated with winter coziness, but they have a real knack for summer. They love to chase shadows, play in the sun, and some will even go on picnics with you! If you're not into summer, then never fear! It's 2026, and you (probably'hopefully) have AC. Enjoy these kitties in summertime, and get ready for beach days, sunset dates, and putting your winter clothes away!

When I was growing up, I hated summer. I lived in Southern California, it was hot almost all the time. It felt like the sun had a personal vendetta against me, and that it was beating down on me only trying to burn me. Everyday with the sun in the sky was a mid day for me. When we had cloudy days was when I could finally feel like myself. These days, I have a better well-rounded appreciation for all the seasons. Summer is beautiful because of its heat. Because it gives something the other seasons don't. It gives a sense of freedom and excitement, of hedonism and the allowance to indulge. Whether it's beach days, vacations, going out late at night, or having ice cream after every meal to cool off, summer somehow makes us appreciate things.
