It's raining...and it makes me so happy. I doubt that it will even make the slightest dent in our rain deficit, but I think I can already see the grass getting greener (if it's not completely dead already). Not only has this been one of the hottest summers on record, it has been the driest since they started keeping records in 1895. (See the News and Observer article). I guess I don't feel so bad for abandoning my garden in late-July, I think if we had tried to keep watering it we wouldn't be able to take showers anymore (no shower + hot weather = stinky girl).
So as I was lying on the couch being lulled to sleep by the noise of the rain on the roof (and reading about SAS programming language), I was rudely awakened by my cat, who decided to use this as an opportunity to take a bath while lying in my lap. Maybe it's just my cat, but she makes SO MUCH noise when she cleans herself it is ridiculous, all I can hear is these loud slurpy-licky noises. Does anybody else's cat do this? And not only is it annoying, but she is OCD about cleaning herself, and literally will keep licking until she has licked all the hair off her belly (which is why we call her "pink belly"). So let me ask you this Pookie, Do I look like a bathtub to you? Do I? Next time I take a shower maybe I'll invite you along and see how you like it.

We have the opposite problem. Emmitt is so obese, the cat can not effectively reach his butt and is, as a result, often crusty. He is truly a disgusting creature. Pookie would be appalled.
Ewe....poor, crusty Emmitt ;}
Honey Pussay's problem is all the frickin' hair. Picking up hairballs is a daily ritual for me. And she seems to like to hack 'em up when we have just fallen asleep, and we all know how pleasant of a sound cat hacking is!! Also there is nothing like waking up in the AM and your first step ends up being a moist one...ICK! So I guess as kitty owners, we learn that each of our feline friends have their own quirks. Oh well.....
