It’s been very hot in the last few weeks, and we’ve been content with quiet activities, such as synchronized bathing, for example.
Pixie tried to find some coolness in the vegetable garden, but it was finally inside that it was the freshest.
Our humans have combined the useful with the pleasant : they have gone to fetch some coolness at the Maison Cailler, the chocolate factory located in Broc, in Gruyère, in the canton of Fribourg. Claire and Momo discovered the fascinating history of chocolate and observed with interest the whole process of its manufacture from A to Z. Not only was it fresh in the factory, but they could also taste different chocolates more delicious than each other !
And you, where have you found a little coolness these days ?
Good bathing you two! That trip looks like it was lots of yummy fun!
You both are very good at synchronised bathing.
The chocolate factory sounds like a very good place to visit.
We seem to be showering more in this heat too! MOL! Those chocolates look incredible.
My human is wondering if they have cat shaped chocolates!
We give you guys a 10 for synchronized bathing! It has been furry hot here in Midway! Wes has been sleeping in the basement during the day and Mom has been having a horrible time getting us to come in at night (because it has been cool)
Mom says she would LOVE to take a tour of a Chocolate Factory- especially the tasting part
Good to sees yous guys again!

Great job on the synchronized bathing. That tour with the sampling sounds fun. XO
Ooh, that chocolate factory tour sounds delicious and fun! And we love your synchronized bathing, Pixie and Zorro!
Nice synchronized bathing there, and thanks for getting dad drooling over the chocolate.
Such sweet photos of Pixie and Zorro … but oh dear, wish we had not seen the chocolates … now we must search the cupboards for a sweet-treat, surely not to be as good as those!
Chocolate is nice, but nothing beats the sweetness of kitty cats!
What a fun trip for your pawrents and we loved seeing you both! Lovely Garden!
Enjoyed the chocolate factory. Wish I could go, but I would have to bring some chocolate back. Our felines must work hard to keep cool here as well.
Great job with synchronized bathing!! Mom would love to tour a chocolate factory! Do you think they have nip ones for us cats to tour?

Chocolate AND cats … THE BEST BLOG POST EVER!!!
It’s been very hot here too. I haven’t noticed any synchronized bathing though. Your lucky humans, I would love to visit a chocolate factory!
can’t believe I didn’t visit Maison Cailler! now i have to put it on my list!
Wow, we just LOVE all the pics! Cats, cabbages, and flowers…
That was a very nice treat, Zorro and Pixie…not only your bathing, but also the chocolate fabric…yummy for Granny’s tummy 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend
My auntie would be so envious, ’cause she totally loves chocolate!
I think you should introduce synchronized pussycat bathing as an Olympic sport!
Ooh, I bet you can find some nice cool shady spots under the leaves of those garden plants and roll around in the dirt to keep away any fleas, too. Purr purr purr.
What great synchronized bathers you are! And a trip to a chocolate factory would be fun for sure. Did youy feel the drips of drool we left?? MOL!
Our den is air-conditioned, so we don’t suffer too much, though the peeps have to go outside to do chores and then they do get all sweaty and hot…ugh.
