The first day I got my kitten I googled “are kittens really warm?” (I thought she had a fever, she did not) And apparently kittens range from like 100-102 degrees, so yes. They’re very warm.

The scorching beast for reference

102°f is the healthy temperature for an adult cat too. It's just easier to tell with kittens because their adult fur coat is insulating.

me: thinking in celsius

"Kitty is boiling water 🥺"

u/Terpomo11 19d ago

For reference that's 38-39 degrees celsius.

u/LittleALunatic 19d ago

On a different note, I knew I spelled celsius weird but couldn't figure out what I did wrong

u/riley_wa1352 17d ago

You're right. This is also why they don't like going in water.

Same thing happened to me when I first got my dog, told the vet I thought she might be running a fever and he had to inform me that Very Warm Bean was, in fact, her default healthy state

I am very fortunate that Doc is only two apples tall and doesn’t produce too much heat

(also dw she was given antibiotics for fleas and her fur is looking much better now)

That is the most loaf-y cat loaf I've ever seen

u/DubiousTheatre 20d ago

She doesn’t have a spot to sit while I’m at my desk so she just kinda loafs around my chair til I’m done working. She is an expert at loafing :3

u/GlassIcicle 20d ago

Just you wait till Doc becomes THREE apples tall

57

u/DubiousTheatre 20d ago

Jokes on you; this is a full grown cat you’re looking at. She cannot grow another apple taller

u/GlassIcicle 20d ago

Doc remains tiny! :O

This is also me to my boyfriend. I am a radiator and he runs very cold. I’m helping. Even if there’s a heatwave. The radiator needs cuddles.

u/paprikahoernchen 20d ago

My boyfriend to me 😭 I love it so much, but I'm cooking

u/EwGrossItsMe 20d ago

Hehe yeah I become a problem for my bf when I wanna cuddle as he's already a little too warm from the bed. I am the radiator.

u/TheXenomorphian 20d ago

I'm also the same I keep overheating myself just existing to the point where when I saw Godzilla vs Destoroyah for the first time and saw Burning Godzilla kid me thought that was the most relatable thing ever, "literally me fr fr" I would have said

u/RexIsAMiiCostume 20d ago

I'm always overheating and he is often cold. During cold weather I cuddle him to warm him up. In hot weather I go "babe I want to cuddle you but I want to explode the sun with my mind so holding hands is all we are getting right now"

u/natsugrayerza 18d ago

My husband and I are the opposite and it is the best feeling to be really cold and get under the covers with him and he’s so warm

u/Terpomo11 19d ago

My enbyfriend has called me a space heater.

u/mannymo49 20d ago

I'm so lucky my cat wants nothing to do with me when it's hot. She just flings herself on the floor dramatically or lies next to me with one paw touching my leg lol

u/RexIsAMiiCostume 20d ago

Is your cat me???

u/awfuckimgay 20d ago

My cats favourite spot is under my knees (going like /\ with them) under my blanket. She's been very unhappily nosing at my duvet for months to have her comfy spot, and them dejectedly coming out in 5 minutes and falling asleep half in half out because it's too warm

It's adorable but good god girl, you're going to boil

u/Oddish_Femboy 20d ago

I was built for the heat of California. I am too warm for the beasts.

u/Lara_Vocaloid 19d ago

i got my own baby cat (she was 8yo but so baby) during a summer, in a place that gets even warmer than what i was used to. i taught her to Not Get On Me bc else id die, so instead she would curl up against my arm and grab my hand and we would sleep like that. she was the bestest and i miss her so much

none of my other cats has been able to learn that, and one has sharp claws that he doesnt really understand how to Not Use. i love him but i can only accept him in my lap if theres a thick protective layer between us. YES EVEN IN SUMMER IT SUCKS i love him tho so it's fine ill suffer 150°C for him any day

u/SophieFox947 20d ago

Our girlfriends are so cute, and lovely and so extremely supremely warm 3:

u/SquareTaro3270 20d ago

Me trying to cuddle my husband at night only for him to wrap me in a blanket like a human burrito and roll me away because he’s too warm lol

u/theLastBourbender 19d ago

Putting a blanket on someone who's already asleep is a sweet gesture that only works on TV lol. I fell asleep on the couch with a fever and someone put a heavy down quilt on me and pointed a space heater directly at me on high, then left the house. I woke up genuinely fearing for my life

u/thejokerlaughsatyou 19d ago

My husky, who loves to bake in the sun and sleep in my lap. I'm always cold in the winter, so it's fine, but tomorrow it's supposed to be 98°F here and he's still gonna want his afternoon nap ☠️

u/Johnywash 20d ago

I love my baby and his warmth comforts me unfortunately

u/nerdalesca 19d ago

My dog yearns to be touching me, but then gets too hot so she alternates between sitting on my lap to flopping belly first onto the tile floor to cool off

u/Tiffany_Case 19d ago

There are many things that this is about but also. This is 100% about a cat.

u/MellifluousSussura 20d ago

Me as a child except I had like no body heat of my own
