Ahh, Summertime

Summer's here, and that brings a few subtle changes in our home (besides mom not being wrapped up in the fleece all the time).  Ordinarily, as you may have seen in some previous posts, I like to relax on dad's lap while he sits in the ridiculously early morning hours reading and sipping guzzling his coffee.  With the warmer weather, though, I've developed different habits.  I've taken to a spot on the floor close to the front door where I prefer to lounge, just behind the chair dad sits in.  There, in the foreground you'll see dad's favorite Orbit mug and the novel he's currently reading, and you'll notice a travel mug as well.  Dad, out of nothing more than thinking about little old me, has been pouring both cups of coffee every morning, with the thinking that he won't have to get up quite as often for refills (sure, that's what he's thinking. What's next, intravenous caffeine?).  This way, he says, he won't disturb me when I do curl up on his lap.  Isn't he just the most thoughtful? Dad snapped this silly one first thing this morning when he saw me rolling around like I do in what they call my adorable pose. I know it's a little hard to see me, but check out those glowing orbs.

With All That Space

You'd think our place offered Cleo no place to rest her aged body. 
Much as with grocery bags and papers and mom's craft stuff when laying about on the floor, Cleo seems to find comfort in the most peculiar places.
    
Is it the crinkle of the plastic bags?  Is it the feel of the nylon of our rain jackets?  Who knows. 
With all that open bed space she has to pick that one spot to nap.  Go figure.
Can I interject here?  I mean, for someone who says "I've had cats all my life, etc., etc., blah, blah blah" why is this even a topic?  Like you don't know cats by now?  Come on Mr. "I'm so smart I can write a blog".  Get with the program.  How about posting something interesting?

Yay for Hiking

In addition to the hiking, another sure sign of summer weather is the seasonal clothing switch.  
Remember many posts ago, where you got a glimpse of dad's oh-so-sexy blue shiny slippery lounge shorts?  Well, mom brought them out again. 
     She systematically packs and unpacks their seasonal garments, and with the warmer weather comes the shorts they like to lounge in.



     As much as I don't care for bare skin at least these things cover enough of dad's lap for me to be comfortable, which is their number one concern, right?  I wanted this post to be about my never ending search for the most comfortable position, but of course dad had to make it about those damn shorts.
