Cooling off

It's me! I'm under the wet paper towel. It's supposed to cool me down in this hot weather. If I wanted to cool down I would go into the utility room and flop out on the cold quarry tiles beside my big bowl of water. J should know how sensible I am by now surely but she likes to think she's taking care of me so I let her get on with it.
We knew a cat once who used to lie on a pad on top of the Aga whatever the weather. I don't get that close, I like a bit of a breeze from the window while I'm snoozing.
There's been too much rain lately so it has been too wet to go out. Now it's too hot for my paws on the paving. It doesn't matter to me, I love it under my table whatever is going on outside. Phew!

I love........
Fresh litter, clean cuddle blanket, new hay, firm bananas and a newly changed bed. All this happens every morning so its my favourite time of day. I try them all straight away. I drop a few messages into each litter tray to make sure nobody else uses them, tidy my cuddle blanket into a good pillow shape, check out the hay bag and remake my bed, scrabbling and pulling it about with my teeth until I'm satisfied. I can then settle down for the rest of the morning. When all this hard work is finished and I've tucked into my breakfast, the rest of the day is for relaxing, nibbling greens, stretching out and dozing. All I have to do later is make my birthday list.
I'm starting my celebrations tomorrow and they should last for a week just to make sure the actual arrival of yours truly is covered thoroughly. When you get to ten you have tried most things in life.
My pet country mouse who lived most of the time in the garden drowned in a green plastic waste bin. We found him this morning. Also my blackbird has gone now there are no more babies to feed. I'm getting much more attention and have been allowed to explore the rest of the garden.

Peace

I've been outside a few times lately just to make quite, quite sure there are no ducklings hiding in the flower borders. You never know with ducklings. They can be quite sneaky even at three weeks old. Anyway, they've gone for another year. Daisy won't be able to have any more offspring until next Spring. I shouldn't say this but I'm glad she isn't a rabbit or my garden would really be in trouble. To give her her due she is a very good mother.
Nothing much happening here apart from tidying the garden. Lots of stuff has been flattened by dozing ducks but my carrot seeds are slowly sprouting. That's something I can look forward to. Also visit to vet for new combination myxie and VHD jab. It didn't hurt but hope I don't get a temperature and go off my food. I will complain if I don't feel well.
My vet said I must be doing everything right as I will be ten years old this month. It could be towards the end as we are not sure whether I was six weeks old or eight weeks when I was bought from a pet shop.
