Sullen Puddle

My Humans are refusing to let me outside because, according to them, it’s too hot.

What they fail to understand is that a day such as today offers ideal liquefaction conditions.

A strikingly handsome black and white cat lays on his side on a wooden, cat-sized window shelf.  The cat wears a sullen expression and appears to have partially melted in the heat.

Harrumph!

I guess I’ll have to stay here, liquifying as fast as I can despite the annoying AC my Humans insist on.

Ignoring me

Sometimes, Human Daddy gets caught up scrolling through his phone and fails to pay sufficient attention to me, his beloved Warrior Princess.

A man in a grey tee shirt and shorts sits on wooden step leading up to a window seat built into a bay window.  He is fully focused on his cell phone.  A small, extremely adorable black dog sits next to the man and stares at him with big, sad Puppy Eyes.  It’s clear that the man’s attention should be on her and not on his phone.

Fortunately, staring pointedly and even throwing in an annoyed bark if absolutely necessary, refocuses his attention almost immediately on his Top Priority, ME.
