So Oliver baffles me yet again! (I think that's part of his purpose in life)
We're finishing the last day of a 4 day heat wave here - temps in the high 90s with index in the 100s (it's starting to rain right now though yay!!!) Well I've been keeping the AC on in my room all day on energy saver at 76 because I have a goldfish tank and an aquatic frog tank in there and I moved my hermit crab tank in there (yes I live in a zoo) so I leave my door open but I have a heavy long curtain hung up, so the cool air stays in but Oliver can still get in and out to eat/drink and use the potty... my parents' room also has an AC but it's off during the day and we have a huge wall unit downstairs (which we try to keep off til as late as possible, but we keep all the shades/blinds closed so it stays pretty cool for awhile)...
So that's the situation and here's what Oliver chooses to do: lay in the upstairs hallway, roasting! He usually lays on the bathroom floor which is linoleum, but it's really not cool at all. I know their fur insulates against heat and cold, but come on Ollie! I've been making him come downstairs when the AC is on and he'll usually stay awhile and take a nap.
What gives? Why would he willingly roast himself lol... I mean I pick him up to take him downstairs and you'd think he was out sunning himself!
