Our deck faces west and gets the full blast of the setting sun in the summer, with temps easily topping 100 F in late afternoon. Stella cat (our long-haired part Maine Coon cat) dozes between the thermal drapes and the sliding glass doors - until she overheats. She's smart enough to move in front of the floor fan in the kitchen & flop onto the cool linoleum floor and cool down. Then she returns to her "sun room" to soak up more rays. She really loves heat!
[All winter she could be found stretched out next to our oil filled space heaters, basting herself - we called her the rotisserie cat - she would gradually roll over and evenly toast all sides of her.]
