Early Morning Sunday Selfie

This was taken two days ago while it was dawning outside. It was very hot.

Today it seems cooler but we've still not had any rain, which is very unusual for England. Some parts of the UK have had rain but we live in the East of England which is officially experiencing drought.

Out of boredom Mum went to Grok with this older photo of ours from 2015. Her prompt was to create a photo of us both living in a castle surrounded by forest. For some reason Mum is wearing a curtain on her shoulder. Or it looks like she is. Perhaps it's meant to be a robe.

If you also notice, my body fur markings are not mine. My markings are classic tabby but these are mackerel. 
 
Mum then added more details "add lot of cats playing happily outside." I asked her why I wasn't enough and she added "I want to live in a kingdom of just cats and no humans. But of course we shall rule together, sweetie".

So, welcome to our kingdom of cats.

Heatwave Again #SundaySelfie

So we had a few days of cooler weather but now the heatwave is back full-on. Annoying for sensitive humans like my mum but also annoying for us kitties. It's too hot too move. But at least I can enjoy an easy Sunday just lounging around and sleeping. 

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies. Check out yesterday's post for our Father's Day card.

Heatwave Go Away Sunday Selfie

This summer has been too hot. All I can do is sleep through it. I gave the same advice to Mum because the heat irritates her. She says she has too much to do so she can't sleep all day. 

"If only I was a cat too," she added. 

 I know she'll join me for a nap later. I mean, who could resist this face?

Cute Furbaby Caturday Art

This heatwave is annoying but at least I look cute lying here on the bed for my Caturday Art. 

Mum keeps moaning that she can't stand all this heat, which we've had for weeks. We are just not used to it in England. We've hardly had any rain either.

Early Morning Sunday Selfie

Very early morning Sunday Selfie watching Mum sip her coffee. 

Yeah, it's 4am and I woke Mum up. It's too hot to sleep, anyway. We're both sitting here with the fan on high. Mum is the grumpy one so no selfie of her 😻

Hot and Humid Sunday Selfie

Just trying to chill on the sofa on this hot, humid Sunday. We don't like this type of weather. Even with a window open you get no air as there is no breeze. The trees are just standing still.

Please, No More Heatwaves #SundaySelfie

The heatwave went away a few days ago but today it's set to get hot again. Not as hot as 40c like last week but still hot. Anything over 26c is too hot for me and Mum!

1. I think _______________ is a waste of money.

2. Lately, I spend a lot of time ______________________.

3. _________ is the craziest thing on my bucket list.

4. _________ is a holiday that I’d like to create or see more celebrated.


Marie

1. I think a lot of things are a waste of money. The older I get the more minimilist I become. I hate clutter.

2. Lately, I spend a lot of time thinking about "the good old days." They weren't that great really personally, but I was young and full of hope and dreams. And music was better then! 

3. Flying a plane is the craziest thing on my bucket list. I love the idea of piloting a plane because I actually enjoy flying. It makes me feel free for some reason - I feel trapped down here on the ground. But of course, I care about the environment too and never fly anywhere these days.

4. Happy Cat Mother's Day is a holiday that I’d like to create or see more celebrated.


Athena

1. I think going on holiday/vacation is a waste of money. At least going abroad. In the UK there are lovely places to visit. It's better for the planet too because planes pollute. And I'm sure Mum can take me with her and not have to board me in some hellhole. The problem though is money. Mum can't afford much these days. 

2. Lately, I spend a lot of time trying to sleep on my lounger scratcher because it's cooler than the bed or carpet!

3. Becoming a singing cat is the craziest thing on my bucket list. I want to sing duets with Mum. 

4. Happy Tabby Day is a holiday that I’d like to create or see more celebrated. Tabbies should be celebrated every day!

Not Amused Sunday Selfie

 

tabby cat

OK, Mum, you've got my selfie, just let me take my nap now. It's the only way to get through this heatwave. You should try it. And keep that air fan going!

1. A fun way to celebrate Christmas in July is ______________________.

2. My favorite summer activity is __________________.

3. When I sleep, my dreams are _________.

4. _________ scare(s) me more than _________.


Marie 

1. A fun way to celebrate Christmas in July is dreaming about snow. I so need it right now. Had enough of this heatwave. Tomorrow, the forecast for some parts of the UK is 40°C. This is the first time ever such a high disgusting temperature has been forecast here. And it's likely to hit my area of West Essex.

2. My favorite summer activity is I don't have one. I can't stand summer. OK, maybe a nice walk in the woods would be nice.

3. When I sleep, my dreams are as messed up as my real life. Lots of anxiety dreams.I'd love a nice dream for once. I have had them in the past, but my dreams just reflect my current life.

4. Insects, spiders, bugs, etc scare(s) me more than anything. Actually I'm scared of a lot of stuff. Strangely, unlike most people, flying does not scare me.


Athena

1. A fun way to celebrate Christmas in July is hoping Mum gets me some nice extra treats.

2. My favorite summer activity is sleeping or hanging out in my catio.

3. When I sleep, my dreams are happy ones about chicken, birdies and Mum.

4. Being home alone scare(s) me more than anything.

Too Hot Sunday Selfie and Teeth Chattering at Birdies

Heating up in England. Mum and I despise this weather. I can sleep it off but Mum hates it when the heat slows her down and she can't get on with her day. Even with a fan it's hot.

The other day I chattered my teeth when I saw some birdies. I posted it on my YouTube channel and also on Instagram.

1. Every July, I _________. 
2. I could be Snow White's 8th dwarf named _________.

Marie
1. Every July, I am grumpy because of the heat and my birthday. 
2. I could be Snow White's 8th dwarf named Moody because Grumpy is already taken. But I could also be Empath.  
3. I could use some money right about now. 
4. I would like to start my own pet photography business. 

Athena
 1. Every July, I sleep on my lounge scratcher like I am doing in my selfie. It's too hot for the bed.

 3. I could use some cool air right about now. 
 4. I would like to start my own bird catching business.Oops... Vegan Mum won't like that!

Sunny Day In The Catio #CaturdayArt

 Happy Caturday 😻

tabby cat in the catio


Check me out in the catio on a sunny warm day! Mum created this art with the Brushstroke app and added a grunge frame from BeFunky. 

 

Here is the jigsaw
