Is It Caturday?


Gatto and Jigs wanted their day in the sun.



It is cooler today but humid. The smoke is gone for now, anyway. It is nice, and the cats appreciate it, to have the two kitchen doors open.  One door gives them access to this porch you see them snoozing in. We don't use it much since it started to heat up, especially after the enormous tree that sheltered it died. It had been a pleasant place for many a lunch and dinner.

Stay well, my pals.

Your sweet little cat is so relaxed... I think I'll take a little nap too.

Gatto and Jigs look so peaceful out there. I’m glad they got a good porch day. Humid or not, cats always manage to find the perfect spot.

I think cats may be much smarter than humans.

Nothing more calming than a sleeping kitty draped on a table. I'd like a Sleeping Cats calendar, one per month, different kitties lying on different unlikely objects.

Aw, what a comfortable sight!
Yay for the smoke being gone! That had to be miserable.
Sad about your tree. We have a similar situation. Our big tree needs to be cut, but if we do we will lose the major shade for our house.

Big Trees provide shade and heat reduction; when they are gone, we notice them much more.

I’m glad the smoke is gone. ❤️

I think Canada has blown the smoke the other way bc of the Predator's alarming threats.

You deserve to catch a break. We not only had serious storms today (over 4 inches of rain) we had tornado warnings after I spoke to you. Things have settled now (almost 6pm).

I am glad the smoke is gone! I love Gatto, he looks so relaxed.

Miss Merry said...

Those are comfy kitties.

Oh, those gentle furry creatures :))

They think hot and humid is a little slice of cat heaven, Jane.

Sandra said...

I know cats are smarter than humans, Pixie.

Sandra said...

I could make you one but there would be a repeat of cats and poses wouldn't change much, Boud!

Sandra said...

It makes a huge difference, Sue. We had two big trees on the south side of the house. Both had to come down a couple of years apart. Not good.

Sandra said...

The south side of my house was shaded until the two old trees had to come down. Now the sun just blasts in, Tommy.

Sandra said...

It was not good, Cheerful.

Sandra said...

Quite possible, AC.

Sandra said...

Whoa, you have been getting hit with different weather problems, Lori. There is no rain in sight, here.

Sandra said...

He does know how to enjoy life, Linda. He's one of my two strays. Frieda is the other.

Sandra said...

Yes, they are, Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

He is that, Viola.

Sandra said...

Thank you Andreja. Enjoy your day.

Ami said...

"they" say you must have a cat, as 'homeowner' has a MEOW right in it. You have more than one cat. It's okay to not buy a second house based on that. Just wanted to make sure you know.

Sandra said...

😄 you are funny, Ami!!
