Having a Caturday

Get that thing out of my face, human.


We've had lots of rain with more coming. We can use it. For a short time it was coming down at 1" per thirty minutes. That didn't continue, thankfully. Being at the top of a hill means flooding is unlikely. Still....

It feels like life is on pause. That's how I can describe where I'm at. I have a feeling I'm not alone. Going through the motions, as the song says. The motions today will be making bread, straightening up, scraping the cats with a shedding blade and once again the %@#*? moment of wondering how this became a cat house. I guess because I let them in.

Oh you love all the cats:)

A feral cat once had eight kittens under my grandma's trailer. I thought it would be funny to ask her if she was now running a cat house. She was PISSED as hell. Did not find it funny in the least. I, on the other hand, can still snicker over it 34 years later. She was a good grandma, but a grumpy old lady and a mean mother and mother in law. I miss her, she was quite something.

Yes, existing. Going to the next thing and the next thing. It feels entirely schizo. Like we're all leading a double life right now.

I think cooler weather will bring you more energy of all kinds.

I hope it gets cooler for you soon, and that it helps.

Send some rain, and enjoy your furballs.

Lori Skoog said...

Good grief! When is your rain going to get here? You are such a nice cat mom!

Miss Merry said...

I don't even remember that last time it rained here!

Not much rain in the UK. So little that an official drought is possible, despite the country's reputation for rain.

Sandra said...

You caught me, Far Side!

Sandra said...

I can imagine your grandma's reaction, Ami.
You described the feeling perfectly. I knew I'm not alone.

Sandra said...

I hope so, Boud.

It's been a lousy summer, Cheerful. It's not been good for much of the country.

Sandra said...

We have needed the rain, AC. The rain seems to run out before it goes very far. The fireballs are a blessing and a curse!

Sandra said...

I'm not used to being ignored, Lori, but the weather does not care about what I say. Gatto is a terror!

Sandra said...

We had a dry start to spring/summer but fortunately we are recovering. The long forecast says a dry autumn, Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

I've always had a cat or two, Linda, but I was fully a dog person. Since the last dog died in 2023 my life has become cats. There are so many strays.

Sandra said...

That just sounds so wrong, nick.
