We may be complaining about the heat now, but in a few months, we'll be complaining about the cold. So enjoy these sweaty days with the help of some hissterical kitties before you're all bundled up and wishing for a heat index of 100.

In the great state of Virginia, where I grew up, summers can be… unpredictable. One day, it's as hot and humid as a swamp in Alabama, and the next, it's raining harder than a monsoon in Thailand. The day after that, it can be nice and cool, followed by a day of hailstorms and subsequent sunshine. Even on those cooler days, though, you still woke up with 200% humidity, and just walking outside you'd sweat through your shirt. I used to despise summer for this very reason.

But then, in less than two months, you'd be bundling up in your sweaters and jackets, wishing for those warm, muggy days of summer. The grass is always greener on the other side, huh? Well, now that we're adults, we've learned to appreciate the small things a little bit more. And even though we may still suffer through the sweaty days of summer, we know that they are temporary, and we'll enjoy that glistening feeling caused by the sun before it all goes away.

How does all of this talk about summer weather connect to cat memes, you ask?

Well, you may or may not have noticed, but cats have a lot of opinions about the weather. Cats truly enjoy the summer sun more than anyone… from the comfort of our homes while the AC is blasting. They love to sunbathe in the windows on sunny days, and watch the torrential downpours that are summer storms from the safety of the couch. Before it ends, we should all aspire to enjoy the last days of summer just like a cat: dry, cool, and purrfectly comfortable.
