It's gotten warm here, so yeah, I think Spring is over and Summer is here. My staff person lets me out early in the morning for a bit before she goes to work, and then won't let me out after she gets home until waaay later. The sun's almost down and I can ONLY go out while she waters those green things that sometimes bloom. When she first gets home and I whine to go out she just says, "Too hot." I'm a cat! I can take it! Just between you and me though, when she occasionally gets fed up with my frequent requests to go outside and lets me out it is even a little warm for me. And even though I protest when she makes me come back in, and I take my own sweet time walking in the door (you know - so she understands this is not my idea) I'm really kinda glad. When the cool air hits me, and I collapse on the chilly kitchen floor - wow - it's like kitty heaven! I think she's on to me though, 'cos she just laughs.
She's been pretty excited. Apparently she put her first book (which is NOT about me, by the way, and I'm miffed) on something called amazon.com, and it's running for free until midnight tonight. She's already had 82 downloads she sez. I heard her on that talky thing saying she doesn't make any money off it, since it's free, but she's hoping to get some 'expohshure', whatever that is. She said if people like it and recommend it to friends that's good, and maybe it will make people look for her second book (which isn't about ME either! of all the nerve!) and buy it.
Well, I gotta go - I have to start whining again to go out. I know she's only going to tell me "No!", but hey, a cat is nothing if not persistent. I thought I'd leave you with this lovely picture of moi after just coming back in on a hot evening. It's not the kitchen floor, but it's a nice wood floor that's nice and cool too.
