Just like us, cats enjoy the freedom of summer days and the fun of summer nights.

Felines know when the temps rise, so does the need for a good time. Cats love their fun, and social media has scads of kitties showing off how they enjoy the summer season. Cool cats like chilling at the pool or on the beach, while others crave the summer for the garden yields. Just about all kitties enjoy the hot weather for the purrfect sunbathing it offers. And, also like their people, cats try to beat the summer heat in the coolest and funniest of ways.

So, while you’re out shimmying in the sun, look for cats having fun, too. You might find them swimming, hiking, or even paddling down the river. If you don’t catch a cat at play, don’t worry, you’ll surely find a kitty taking a summertime nap in the sun.

Check out these cats soaking up the summer fun!
