Actually “oh what TWO days” (so far)……….because today is a carbon copy of yesterday and yesterday was PURRRFECT. No complaints from me. Not too hot or humid – it was downright fabulous. I celebrated by spending most of the day asking Mom about every ten minutes to take me out on the front porch. Yes I did………I loved stretching in the sun…….sitting in the sun……cruising the lawn…..peeing in the bushes (oops – too much info??), and just enjoying the fresh air. Mom did all of that (except for the peeing part of course) with me and then we further celebrated by watching Dad use the string trimmer all over the yard neatening things up.
I am sure I’ll be doing a “repeat performance” today………………and I can hardly wait……………in fact, maybe I’d better go wake Mom and Dad up – the sooner we start enjoying another PURRRFECT day together the better!!!
Hope you have a beautiful Thursday too…………………………oh – before I go – here’s a “thought of the day” about aging (which of course I am doing as gracefully as possible!):

Hi Cupcake! I was up bright and early this morning and READY to head outside into the fresh air. It was perfect out there and will be all day. Mom is even celebrating by working in her much neglected gardens! WOOT! If I had a street to nap in like you do, I’d probably have a nice street nap right about now!

Well little man, exploring and finding new things and making new friends is all part of being a young cat…..you’re still checking out your “boundaries and limits” and your Ladymum knows that but you mustn’t worry her by going on adventures when she doesn’t know where you are. Besides, it can be a scary and dangerous world out there. Much better if you’re WITH her and in your outside cat condo or at least WITH her in sight. So, I’m sure you enjoy visiting your Aunty next door but best stay home and safe!!!
