Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

What has happened with the weather?

You know how I like to go out and have a little snooze on the shed roof while watching what's going on in the neighbourhood. Now that's something I found two legs can't do. Sleep with their eyes open. it's something we felines learned many ages ago so that we could rest but still keep predators at bay because they thought we were still awake.

I had a chat with Sebastian about this some time back and he told me that was why we have a third eyelid. i thought that was a bit over the top as we only have two eyes but he explained it all to me and it seemed very logical at the time. Sebastian has a way with words. problem is I have forgotten all that he said now and I dare not ask him again or he will say I don't pay attention. It's not that but my mind has so much to take in while I am young I can't always seem to cram it all in. Like when the two legs go on holiday and pack their cases and then try and get another pair of shoes in and something pops out the other side.

Anyway I went up on the shed roof for a little lay and look and my poor little paws were nearly fried. The tin roof was so hot I was jumping about like one of those Mexican beans.

I told Bluebelle about it and she let me come down into her garden and put my paws in her paddling pool - well I am not sure if it is hers really but she said it was OK to use. I cooled my feet down lovely in that so much so that I was able to go back and lay down properly and soak up the sun's rays.

Max said I should watch out in case I start to lose colour from the sun bleaching me. I think that is why Max is now a funny shade of brown rather than the black that he always says he is on his passport and stuff.

Anyway no time to sit here writing to you I've got more sunning to do.
