CATS ON TUESDAY

Yesterday I came back from my 2 weeks holidays in Hourghada/Egypt. When I was in the garage, I was greeted by Arthur who started to play and jump around with the grace of an elephant baby, so happy he was to see me. Kim as usual hadn't realized that I had been away, Pookie had terrorized Mr. G. by meowing all the time for food. So she didn't care if I was there or not the most important thing was that her bowl was always full ! Rosie didn't come she showed that she was not pleased about my absence, but when I went to bed, she immediately arrived and purred a whole concert.

The next morning nothing had changed. Pookie meowed the whole morning



Kim once her stomach full, retreated into Mr. G's office



Arthur prayed into the radiator



Rosie deeply slept on the top of the sofa !

Nobody helped me to unpack my suitcase, neither when I started a little Christmas decoration



Pookie slept





and Arthur didn't even have one look on my work !

I noticed however that the cats had put on and Mr. G. had lost weight !

CATS ON TUESDAYS

We had the worst heatwave in Belgium since 1901 ! The temperatures climbed to nearly 40°C (104 F) and the whole country was paralyzed ! We have no aircondition except in supermarkets, shops and cars, as we have never such high temperatures and certainly not for over a week !



Pookie tried to cool her old bones on the tiles and stayed inside. Fortunately the heat didn't harm her appetite. And of course each time one of us went into the kitchen she asked for food. We are happy about that because she starts to put on weight !



I had moved outside and sat under the Pergola with a ventilator. Arthur kept me company and enjoyed the ventilator too. Or he was laying exhausted on the table of the living room ! He even didn't do his walks through the neighborhood.



Rosie lay mostly on the terrace, and stretched from time to time her body



and rolled around ! Apparently she didn't bother about the heat, although she was too lazy to go on mouse or bird hunting !

Fortunately today it has cooled down to normal summer temperatures, and we are all waking up !
