It’s so hot…

Make it stop being so hot…

A cat covered with fur just can’t get a break in this heat so he has to air himself out.

Dickie’s mom requested another photo because she misses him—I don’t have any of him just sitting and looking normal, because he doesn’t do that too often! But here’s another of his famous sleeping positions.

What I like is the little fangs. I also love the black bottoms on tabby cat paws—it looks as if they’ve stepped in black paint, and when you look at them from the top it looks as if it’s soaked up between their toes.

Dickie has about seven more weeks here, then he’s back with his mom! I’ll tell the story soon, and in the meantime I’m sure I’ll get plenty more photos of my temporary tabby cat.

  • Anonymous, it works for me on hot nights! Except I’m not sleeping in that lovely curve like Dickie–I’d be in traction if I tried that.

    Maybe if I arrange myself like that, I feel cooler????

  • Caren, my Stanley did too. This guy belongs to my niece who had to move in with her mother for a year after separating from her husband, so I’ve had the pleasure of fostering Dickie, but only until this October. I’ll write about him soon. He’s a real character, just like his photos!

    I love all the melting cat poses you capture. Like Dali’s melting clocks!
