Sputnik at work

[nanila]

Sputnik was being particularly adorable today. He kept coming in and flopping on the kitchen floor, rolling over on his back and mewing plaintively. The message was clear. "Mommmmm. It's too hooooot! Too hot for fur-coat-wearers! I'm hooooot!"

Trainee sommelier kitteh scorns the suggestion that he might need more practice before he goes looking for a job.


I suppose you might be allowed to touch my stick.


However, it is too hot. So my stick and I will go for a lounge in the shade of this bench. You must amuse yourself for a while.


Look, I know I'm beautiful. That beauty requires hours of uninterrupted napping to maintain. Stop papping me so I can get on with it.

What a handsome boy he is! Lots of personality, I see. *g*

[nanila]

Oh yes. No one could accuse him of being boring to live with. :D

Aww!

Ours are doing the same piteous meeping. I keep suggesting to Flyte that, perhaps, she might consider coming downstairs where it is considerably cooler. She doesn't believe me.

I found Sputnik baking his brains in the direct sunlight on the windowsill the other morning. I kept telling him that it wasn't the optimal strategy for keeping cool, but he wasn't listening.

What a handsome fellow

Ice cubes in the water bowl are sometimes appreciated.

In one very bad heatwave a few years back, I resorted to double-bagging a handful of ice cubes and stroking the cat with them, which was considered quite pleasing.

Sadly, it's cooled down again, but I'll try both of those next time. I look forward to the blissful expressions!

Trainee sommelier kitteh even has his fancy suit ready for his first day on the job. Stellar work ethic!

He is always prepared for black-tie occasions.

Kitchen floors are nice and cool. My cat, who doesn't seem to mind the occasional bit of water, will often lie in the bath or shower recess on hot days.

My boys haven't figured that one out yet. Then again, we shut the kitchen door on them when we're out of the house during the day, so it's the only option they've properly explored.
