Quality kitty time
While roastdmallow has been visiting Las Vegas, it's just been me and Hermes at home. It's not been completely tranquil, though, as he had a resurgence of digestive trouble that made for some cleanup on my part. Fortunately, he's back to normal and behaving himself now, so we've been having some quality time this weekend, where by "quality time" I mean "nap time". For instance:
And:
And:
Yep, that's how you get quality time with a cat.
We also had a pretty nice thunderstorm here last Thursday afternoon, which knocked out my power for about 22 hours. It was out from around 4PM Thursday to 2PM Friday. Though, annoyingly enough, the other side of my street had power the whole time. However, not having power meant that I really needed to open up all the windows in the house to try and get a breeze so as not to suffer heat stroke. This was a new experience for Hermes, as for the entire time he'd been living here, I'd had the AC on and the windows closed. He spent a LOT of time in the living room window talking to the stray kitties on the porch and hearing and smelling all kinds of exciting new things. I was somewhat sad when I had to close up the windows again yesterday to turn the AC back on (it was getting close to 90 in the house).
He also had a run-in with the dastardly kitten in the bathroom mirror. His tail was poofed out, his spinal fur was standing up and he was hissing and batting at the cat in the mirror and being very upset that he couldn't get in there and have at him. Needless to say, it was hilarious, and I almost cut my face off while shaving and watching him.
