Heatwave #SundaySelfie

 Happy Sunday!

It's too hot to move here in Essex so I'm just taking it easy. We don't have air-conditioning (not the norm in UK homes yet) but Mum has the fan running. But still it's insanely hot. Mum is complaining that she can't work on her computer because she keeps sweating. 

This is where I spend most of my hours on hot days. On my PetFusion cat scratcher/lounger. Mum has it positioned near her bed. I want the cold weather to return so we can snuggle on the bed together. Mum longs for cold nights so she can hide under the duvet and we can keep each other warm.

Heatwave #CaturdayArt

Happy Caturday!

Mum is rushing this post today because the heatwave of the last few days has totally taken its toll on her and she's behind on blogging duties. It's made her so ill and sweaty that all she can do is lay on the bed with the fan blowing - just like me!

In the UK, we had the hottest July day ever on Thursday. It got to 38 Celsius in the town where we live in Essex (about 100 Fahrenheit).

We know some of you have had it worse. In France, Belgium, Holland and Germany and other places it got to above 40c. It's horrifying, isn't it?

Climate Change is real, people!


Anyway, here's our art for today.

Feline Friday Photo Fails & Friendly Fill-Ins

This Feline Friday we're joining Pet Photo Fails, hosted by Melissa and Mudpie 

These two photos below are the worst but we're sharing for a laugh. I told Mum not to be embarrassed by failures :)

This was meant to be a Sunday Selfie a few weeks ago. Awful isn't it? The lighting is all wrong and Mum hates the way she looks.

Mum trying to make it look as if I took my own selfie here. I moved in way too close.

Friendly Fill-Ins

1. If I had ________________, I would _________________________.

2. ___________________sparks my creativity.

3. _________ keeps me up at night.

4. I only just recently learned _________.

MARIE

1. If I had millions, I would open a cat sanctuary in the countryside.

2. Cats, music and nature spark my creativity.

3. This insane heatwave keeps me up at night.

4. I only just recently learned how to do some gardening. 

ATHENA

1. If I had other cats or pets living with us I would hate it. I like being an only cat because I want all the attention and don't wish to share my mum with anyone.

2. Mum sparks my creativity.

3. This stupid heatwave keeps me up at night. It's Climate Change and it's real and who's to blame but selfish humans? 

4. I only just recently learned nothing. I'm a cat, I don't need to learn anything. We are born wise and all-knowing.

Don't forget to join us for the Caturday Art Blog Hop tomorrow. Mum hasn't written up our post yet. She's been too hot and bothered, sweltering in this terrible heat (or in her own words - burning in Hades). We've both been trying to sleep through it and Mum is a sweaty mess.

It's a bit cooler now so she will get to work on it right now!

Meanwhile, I'll continue to nap next to the fan...

Sweet Little Kitty Goddess Who Helps Her Mum Chill Out #ThrowbackThursday

It's still really hot in London and I just want to sleep all the time. I think Mum is the same, but she has a lot to do so can't nap as long as I can. She has to write posts for this blog as well as look after me. Plus, she needs to moan a lot about the heat and how much it should be autumn now and cooler. Yes, she is a moany human. Do your humans moan and complain a lot? It seems humans are really weak in this respect. I think humans are never happy unless they have something to moan about.

Wise cats know that complaining just isn't worth it. Best to focus on the moment, eat, drink, play a little hunting game, and then nap. Just nap the heat away and it'll pass.

Mum was up early doing her artsy thing for Caturday Art. She wakes up early (or rather I wake her) so she can work before it gets too hot and noisy. She'll drink a lot of coffee to stay awake and to help with the creative process. Then at around 1pm I'll make her take a nap with me for at least an hour or two. 

Hope you're all having a nice day wherever you are, and  that your humans aren't busy complaining about their rotten lot. Here's a cute photo of me to make them smile from 5 years ago. What a cute tabby kitten I was!

Wordless Wednesday: Cooling Down

Thankfully it's cooling down a bit here. Now I can sleep better!





Easy Like Sunday

It's too hot again! All I want to do is sleep :)

So here I am having a wash before settling down for my afternoon nap.

Have a good one!
