Tabs all the time obtained a kick out of the phrase “the canine days of summer season,” to which he’d add, “why don’t we’ve a cat days of summer season?”
Good query, however I’d all the time inform him to not assume too deeply about it…
After I consider Tabs in his prime, I consider him as a summer season cat. Lounging on the recent sand at a tropical seashore someplace was one in all this favourite actions. Sometimes, he’d even get on a surfboard when he was within the temper, and he was really a wonderful cat surfer.
However I digress…
On the peak of summer season, when it was at its hottest like it’s now, Tabs would all the time discover a technique to look glamorous, whereas the remainder of us can be sweaty and smelly and borderline gross. Didn’t matter. Irrespective of how scorching and humid it was, he’d all the time be stylish and glossy and put collectively.
Like I stated, he was a summer season cat.
Round this time of 12 months, Tabs would typically host a pleasant neighborhood get collectively and invite the native canine. The advertising staff would attempt to push to name it one thing nondenominational and delicate, however typically Tabs favored a tough promote. The fete was normally known as “The Annual Canine Days of Summer time Celebration,” which he regarded as an olive department to his canine cousins.
Boy, it was fairly a celebration too! Think about tons of of cats and canine barking all evening lengthy. It was cray!
Rosie
Rosie’s been busy this summer season to this point. Numerous tasks impressed by the sweltering warmth, like, she’s engaged on a sprayable cat fur sunscreen and finding out world warming and its impact on cats who sleep in home windows.
In different information, she usually isn’t within the issues I’m engaged on, however recently we’ve been speaking about maybe including a canine member to the household, and she or he’s been unusually enthusiastic about my ideas on it.
Rosie’s fairly acquainted with animals of the canine persuasion as a result of, in her earlier foster residence, she lived with three canine, and I’ve been advised by her foster mother that by the point Rosie’s kittens had been weaned and able to go, she was displaying the entire canine in the home who was boss.
I’m guessing she thinks that if she had been to get a canine companion, she’d be capable to persuade her or him into turning into her assistant.
I can see that occuring from a mile away. 😹
Your pleasant neighborhood magnificence addict,
