I am just lying around. I do a lot of this lately. I am also protecting my chest fur. Mom gets the scissors out almost every day and wants to snip off some of my lovely fur.
Karen Jo: You are getting a whole bunch of small mats around your forelegs. I feel them when I pet you at bedtime. I try to snip one out every day. I want to get it under control before you have to get your chest shaved again.
No more shaving! I hate being shaved. I guess I will have to put up with the snipping and the furminating, but I still won't like it.
I am getting a nice cool drink of water. Mom just put cold water in our bowls. We are both drinking a lot and peeing a lot in this hot weather.
Karen Jo: I am very glad about that. It will keep you healthy. I froze the rest of the pot roast today. What would you kitties like me to cook next?
Herman and Emma: Chicken! Just don't mess it up with a lot of herbs and junk we don't like.
Karen Jo: Chicken it is. I will cook some without anything on it just for you. I am going to try to find a new recipe for me. I am tired of baked chicken with herbs, though I can use it many ways once it is cooked. Are you enjoying the fan while I am at work?
I love it. I lie just in the kitchen doorway, where the fan can cool my tummy fur. I even feel a little like playing at night.
Emma: I like it, too. Herman isn't much fun in the middle of the day. I can run and jump right over him and he just ignores me. The good part is that Mom can play Da Bird with me for as long as I want and he ignores that, too, even though it is at night. He isn't jealous of me any more.
I have gotten used to having you around. I know I can pounce you when I feel like it. I also know that Mom will give us both as much petting as we want at night and early in the morning. There's no reason to be jealous any more.
