The saying "dog days" is related to astronomy, and how a certain star appeared in the sky during the warmest months.

edit: Maybe we can consider all Fridays cat days?
It being Frigg/Freya's day, and Freya is known for her 2 kitties.

IIRC, the “dog days” are when the “Dog Star” Sirius rises before the sun does.
