This is my furball, Gremlin, in one of his favorite refuges when it gets hot. My dearly beloved is allergic to cats so Gremlin stays outside most of the time. We have an enclosure for him in the backyard, where he goes every evening before sundown and stays until after dawn or the sprinkler run the next day. I just don’t want him wandering around at night and running the risk getting hit by cars, attacked by dogs or sprayed by the skunks that seemed to have moved in over the past couple of years.
But when it gets really hot, say about 100°F (38°C), I let him in the house to cool down for a bit. This seems to be his second favorite spot, under the coffee table. His absolute favorite spot is rubbing up against the dearly beloved’s shins. He really is a sweet little guy (and the dearly beloved is sweet, too).

@silvermist He doesn't spend much time inside so he doesn't get too many chances to go for the couch. Once he does, we both scream at him. He just looks at us with this innocent look on his face like he can't imagine what he's doing wrong.

Lovely cat!
Here's one of mine, sprawled in bed with me and enjoying the air-conditioned room. Never allowed my two kitties out of the house.

Cats enjoy "hiding out" underneath places.

They always find the person who's allergic, don't they.
