Sweet

Just about the nicest day you could imagine; everyone inspired to be energetic, including the cat. A neighbor up the street said that during the hottest days this week, she grabbed her cat and got him good and soaked, especially around his neck and head; he resisted, but later came back for more. She claims to have done this with all her cats; ours would rip and shred whatever was handy if we tried it on him. A vet friend told me one of her clients used a bag of frozen peas to cool his cat. I just let ours dash down into the basement, whic is normally off-limits.
Pleasant stroll in the evening.
