As you may have heard, we are burning up here in the West. Unfortunately, that is sometimes literally true, with fires springing up all over the place. But, I know how to go outside and stay nice and cool. First, have your mom or dad put ice cubes in your water dish. Then, drape a frozen gel pack on your body. It's fabulous. Listen to some nice jazz (Miles Davis or John Coltrane is the best), and kick back with a frosty mojito. You can replace the mint with catnip, if you like.
We're hosting Weekend Cat Blogging this week. If you want to take part, here's how it works: Leave a link to your site here in the comments section. Also, mention us and WCB in your blog and leave a link to our site in your blog, because I love that kind of stuff--makes me feel really important. Mom will have the Roundup late Sunday, because she's going to a special showing of Ratatouille tomorrow. I've heard the plot to that film is about a rat that cooks in a fine French restaurant. Ridiculous!
Oh yeah, lick your nose a lot because it helps cool you off. Or maybe not. Just do it. It's one of our set of skills that humans can't do, and they envy us.
Mom went to visit the squirrels last weekend and she said they are better. The girl stayed away from her, but Little Bear acted happy to see her.
He came racing up to see her. But, Mom said she can see that they are starting to go wild. And that's good. In a couple months they will not like people and can be released.
Hey, check out the Friday Ark for other cool cats!
Sorry to hear it's so hot where you are! A cool pack sounds like a fabulous idea.
I would love to be added to the round-up this weekend. Here I am, playing with a toy mouse:

Upsie, that ice pack is a great idea! China Cat and Willow were snuggled up inside with the AC because it's hot out here too! Willow was trying to sleep but China thought it was bath-time. Here's the link and thanks for hosting.

Coucou, Merci d'héberger nos chats, le tien est vraiment superbe ! Chez nous les chats ne souffrent pas de la chaleur en ce moment, bien au contraire !

OMIDAWG! (er, cat!) This is so awesome! I'm so sorry I missed last Friday's deadline. Is Monday night too late? How can I get involved in this? I want to play every weekend. My blog was supposed to be about my mosaics, but all I do is write about, and show photos of, my cats! I'm really trying hard to get back to the art part, but for me, cats are art!
Gonna go explore so many blogs here that are of interest to me. Feel like I've found my online fur family! Laura
