Cat Days
I've heard of the 'dog days of August'. You know, those sultry days of stifling heat that often start in late July and cover the first few weeks in August. Well, at least around these parts that's the way it usually goes. The bumpkin of a weatherguy around here calls them 'the days of icky stickies'. I just call them uncomfortable. It hit 96 here at the homestead yesterday, and I hear Portland topped off at 95. It broke the previous high for the day of 94, set a few years back. If this keeps up, we'll have to start calling these the 'cat days of July'. No?
But answer me this, please.
With all of the soft, cool grass nearby, why did she settle for the warm, hard stone?
Cats!
Love 'em!
Actually, that shale-like rock looks like it could be cool. At least it is smoother than grass.
ReplyDeleteYour sweet cat looks like "my" outdoor cat friend Lara who died last week. sigh . . .
I don't know, but that is about as relaxed a cat as I've seen in a while. Rock on, sage cat. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI guess there's no answer or understanding of the ways of felines! I think this little friend of yours might be a companion to the animal I posted today.
ReplyDeleteThe grass itches. Plus, cats are gods, and the rock provides a position much more suitable to royalty.
ReplyDeleteMolly thanks you Lowell for your kind words. Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
DeleteHey BM...re your comment on Ocala: We're getting the "natural" fireworks just about every afternoon these days with buckets of natural water! But it doth make these parts pretty lush.
ReplyDeletecats are rebels! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Lowell's response and he's so right. Cats are pretty regal.
ReplyDeleteCats always find the best spots so this must have been the best spot :)))
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, there MUST be agood reason..
ReplyDeleteLove cats too!
They are stubborn beasties!
ReplyDeleteIf you can figure out a cat, you will be the first one.
ReplyDeleteBecause, depending on the time of day and sunlight/shadow, the stone may be cooler. My wild guess.
