Please watch their paws!

Excessive heat is expected across San Diego over the next few days — please take extra precautions to protect your pets!

When it’s 77 degrees outside, asphalt can reach a scorching 125 degrees. That kind of heat can quickly cause pain and injury to your pet’s paws. Before heading out for a walk, place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it feels too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet.

So true!! Love that about them!

These aren't contemporary memes. They're genuine artifacts, around 4,000 years old.

The post featuring them captured it perfectly, quipping that cats have been “bordering their humans” for thousands of years. No limits, no embarrassment, only unfiltered feline entitlement. The humor needs little help, but the historical evidence supports it. It fits everything we already understand about cats in ancient Egypt.

In that era, cats weren't simply pest catchers; they were companions, markers of status, and even sacred animals. Tomb artwork often depicts them beneath chairs, nestled in laps, and threading through everyday scenes. The goddess Bastet appeared as a cat or a woman with a cat's head. Families showed their pets genuine affection, sometimes extending to elaborate burials.

These statues, however, go beyond symbolism alone. A cat actually seated on someone seems less like official iconography and more like an ancient take on “get off my face while I'm trying to sleep.” A cat resting on your breastbone hardly feels ceremonial. Across four millennia, the scene remains strangely, comically familiar.

Today's cat owners recognize it immediately. The reaction was all recognition: dawn wake-up calls, backsides parked in faces, and the shared experience of a cat treating your body as its own furniture. Four millennia,
