Wowsa friends, things are pretty dicey at Casa De Housecat tonight. Mom cooked cauliflower and broccoli. We may die from the fumes! It's still too darned hot at 7pm to open a window much less a door.
How I miss the air outside, with the sweet after smell of a nice fat tweet in the breeze. I love the smell of hummingbird in the morning. I haven't had a bug to chase in a week.
Dear Cod, please let me use the litter box to get rid of this horrifying stench. I may have to go twice.
I better get to work friends, I have my work cut out for myself.

Mousey Monday
Well friends, she caught me again.
I really thought Mom was fully distracted. She was yammering on with Aunt Jenny on the phone, and Dad was napping.
I saw my precious Mousey in the hall, and I decided it was safe to move him closer to the den. I like to keep him in my sights, and I often carry him to rest just outside the room where I am hanging out. I do not allow my parents to see me with him. Ever. Although they do hear me with him, as I like to sing with him in my mouth.
I got a little carried away singing out my love song. He was nestled just right in my jaws, and I was able to really sing out. I was so distracted that I walked right into the den.
I looked up and that is when I saw Mom's shocked face and her mouth forming the perfect "O" and I knew I was busted. Of course I dropped Mousey right where I stood, but it was too late. She started whispering to Aunt Jenny and shoved her hand in her mouth to try to imitate my love song meows.
So embarrassing. Then I realized if I didn't come clean she would be over here blabbing about it, saying it's like seeing Big Foot or something. She's such a smug drama queen.
Just a lady spending some quality time with her Mouse. Jeez.

Finally Floofy Friday
Well Summer finally really kicked in here. It's been as high as 115 some days this week. It's made us all like slugs. I guess my pleasant letter to Mr Global Warming has not had the desired effect. I'm gonna have to think about how to approach this.
It's been so hot that my parents scurry into the house and try to stay inside as much as possible. So my porch time has been cut down to the minimum. Just trying to stay cool by lots of drinking, um, water that is.
Overall we've been pretty luckily this Summer, as it's normally this hot for most of July and parts of August. This time of the year Mom begins to wonder why we live in the desert.
When a grannycat can lounge on her porch without worrying about burning her asterisks on the cement. Have a great weekend friends, and try to stay cool. If you live somewhere cold, please feel free to contact me for a sun swap.

We can't wait for Autumn..

Cat Beds
So my little bed in yesterday's post is sometimes my favorite place in the world, and other times I don't step one paw in it.
Not one paw.
Mom thinks it's based on the temperature. In the cool weather I do love to get all toasted up in there, and then I jump out to expose my belly and cool off. In the Summer, even with the A/C it's still pretty hot here in the desert, so I tend to spend my days belly up on the cool tile.
Yes, it is hard to sleep with all the delighted squealing of how cute I am, but I endure it.
The other reason I am currently refusing my bed... come closer... ::Whispers:: There's cat hair in it! Sure, sure, I know it's mine, but would it kill them to run that tape thingy over it?

What? on Wednesday
What is going on in the world today (Tuesday)? The news is filled with all kinds of sad and bizarre news. On days like today, I find it's best to just curl up in a ball and purr your way into tomorrow.
Anyone want to join me in a big floof pile?
It might be a tight fit...

Abandoned
Fin: You'll never guess what happened to me this weekend friends. I was abandoned for 10 days!
Mom: Fin what are you talking about. Your Dad and I were out of town for a day and a half tops.
Fin: Right, like I was saying, 10 whole long days.
Mom: Why do you keep saying that?
Fin: Mom, we've been over this before. Cats live seven years for each one of yours. So one day equals seven to me. Do the math. Oh and I was starved friends!
Mom: Your dishes were all left full!
Fin: But who wants to eat wet food after all the gravy is gone? And dry kibble? It's like cruel and unusual punishment.
Mom: Oh for Cod's sake. Come on over here and I'll shower you with scritches.
Fin: Now is not a good time for me. I'll see you at 1am.

Floofy Friday
Maybe this should be titled Foliage Friday?
Ah, this looks better.
So there I was, enjoying a nice sniff at this plant, when I was assaulted! A sassy little humming bird flew right up in my face. I was shocked and appalled. Mom started laughing (yes she has wildly inappropriate responses).
Yep, it was all fun and games till the humming bird flew right into Mom's face too! She was so startled that she stepped back in dismay.
Humming Bird 2 - Mom and Fin 0
Can you imagine the nerve? I must say I almost admire that level of sass - just not in a tweet. When I napped today, I dreamed of humming bird covered in gravy - it's small, but eats like a meal.
I can see that my work is cut out for me when the weather improves. The tweets are running amok. Sigh. So what is everyone up to this weekend? We hope you have a great time friends!
