Lovely Day for the Kitty Walk Enclosure!
With pardons to Catnipped, it's 71F here, light breeze and not at all humid.
Persia insisted it's a "patio day" for her (at least for the time being). She's meatloafing in her Kitty Walk enclosure, chattering at the birds and squirrels, sniffing the air, looking very relaxed. Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

DH went out and bought four more fans, we opened all the window that had screens the cats haven't shredded. It stormed really hard here last night and that cooled it off a lot.

Jill Poor thing was just dive-bombed by a bluejay who came to eat with her young one. Persia was just sitting there watching, it's not like she could get to them or anything. But the mama Jay really freaked her out, diving at her and squawking up a storm! Persia was yowling at me, pawing at the exit door of the enclosure, "Get me away from this crazy bird!" Poor thing She's still shaken by the experience. I do think she has a greater appreciation of Peaches the lovebird now. Jill |

Hugs, CatNipped Storms down here in the southern U.S. can be such a blessing! I've told this story before, I'm sure, but about 3 years ago we had a *nasty* storm blow through that knocked out electricity all over on a long-term basis. I was without power for a week (many were worse off in more rural areas) and had to cook outside (and of course use up the defrosting contents of the freezer). It was July, IIRC. But nice and cool!! I can only imagine if it had been it's normal 98-100F for those 5 days without even being able to run a fan! We truly are spoiled. Imagine what it was like before anyone down here had electricity and had to wear tons of volumnous clothing in order to be "proper". Jill |

Jill I really wish we had some way to know exactly what the temperatures were like back then. It's just had to imagine anyone living in this heat and humidity without even a fan (and as you said with layers and layers of clothes! I really think it must be hotter than it used to be. Hugs, CatNipped |

Hugs, CatNipped Possibly it was less hot. Unfortunately, the historical data on Farmer's Al manac online only goes back to 1973 (even though it was first published in the 1700's). There's another factor for the heat to consider - pavement and concrete. I live away from the city. I always noticed it was much cooler here at home than when I was at the office, in a business area surrounded by buildings and roads. Jill |

She was indeed traumatized and has been sticking to me like glue since I let her back in. She's also talking to me a lot, as if to say, "Mom, you should have seen what that bird was doing! It was so big and mean! It was *after* me! I didn't do anything, I was just sitting there!" Poor thing. Of course, she immediately rushed to the kitchen to see if this traumatic experience might get her a treat of some sort. Jill |
