The heat is an extreme temperatures these days, it's important to not let it get to you.

Most people know what it's like to be in high temperatures for summer. The earth is getting hotter and hotter, and it's important to look out for everyone, not just oneself. Like in the story below, a family saves the lives of kittens and their mama from the scorching temperatures outside. They had been feeding the mom for a few months, but she was a really skittish stray and wouldn't let them touch her. They wanted to get her fixed and put her back outside, but before they could do that she had babies in their bushes. It was over 100 degrees outside that day and they decided they couldn't just sit back and watch the kittens suffer in the heat. They brought them inside, and now they want to keep the mom and two of the kittens. The rest will be adopted. It's the first time this family is fostering kittens and they're nervous, but nothing like some internet encouragement to make them all a little calmer. They named the mama Trash Cat because she would sleep on their garbage cans, and the babies are named Mischief, Trouble, Chaos, Mort, and Pandemonium. Read the full story below for all the fun in the sun. There's nothing like a summer story of saving kittens from the heat.

It's not a given that the family would take in all of the kittens. These days, the heat can really get to a person. I don't know about you, but I live in a very hot desert climate, so it's actually so unbearable to be outside that it's impossible. I always felt so envious of people who live in colder places when I was growing up. When you're a kid, you don't understand life at all, and you don't understand why you've been dealt the deck of cards you have. As we get older, there's more and more clarity about life and how to deal with it. So enjoy this story, and try not to let the heat get to you.
