During the summertime, it’s important to keep your furry friends cool! Scottish Fold cat Basil Farrow and his mom, La Carmina, share tips for beating the heat.

1) Leave several bowls of cool water around the house. Replenish often.
2) Groom your pets regularly: shaving or brushing.
3) Wipe down your cat’s body with a cool, wet towel.
4) Keep your house well-ventilated, but go easy on the AC and fans.
5) Lick the occasional spoonful of organic, plain yogurt.
6) Ensure there are cool areas for your pets to rest.
- Remember… a cool cat is a happy cat!

accompanied by Brian Mosier on the ukulele
dedicated to our favorite T-rex, Madeline

lyrics:
layin’ on the roof in the warm sunshine
sunburned faces and ice cream lines
girls in short shorts
and trees to climb
these are the summers I’ll remember

Dancin’ in the park to music in my head
dogs off leashes in the flower bed
smell of water
on hot cement
these are the summers I’ll remember

swingin’ at the playground at my old school
iced sour lemonade to keep us cool
played hide and seek
and i found you
these are the summers I’ll remember

[solo]

we pretend these days go on forever
ignoring the idea of a brisk September
we live our lives
at campfires
we’ll keep it summer forever
