Almost Daily Cat Haiku

FlooferNoofer just wants to be friends with the birds. The delicious, delicious, birds…

This is an older picture. There aren’t actually any cats watching the bird feeders this morning. Most of them are in the catios right now. They have been denied access to the outside for most of the past week, on account of it being hotter than Satan’s butthole for most of that time. But it has finally cooled off to a reasonable summertime temperature. And, for the moment, it isn’t raining either. In addition to the excessive heat, we’ve also had tropical storms popping up every evening. Rationality keeps telling me the rain will cool things off. But it doesn’t. It just keeps the humidity up around 102% which is a little like breathing soup. It is not pleasant. It is the opposite of pleasant. It is unpleasant. And gross. This is not something us Midwesterns are really built for. This is Florida weather, and quite frankly, they can keep it.

But we seem to have survived it, and the cats can enjoy some open air. The catio provides more than just a breath of fresh air, now they can hear their fluttering feathered friends. And FlooferNoofer really like that. Maybe if the ground dries up enough, I’ll take her outside to meet some them…
