he loves his haircut

On our way home from the groomers it started lightning and thundering so it was pretty much the worst day of his entire life.

Initially he went to this corner of the kitchen to "hide" like this.  After a few minutes he got in to a much better hiding position.

When I showed that picture to somebody they were like, "omg I hope you put the camera down after you took that and helped him".  Helped him do what?!  There's nothing I can do to help him, he has plenty of places to hide if he actually wants to hide.  I can't do anything about him choosing to cram himself in to the tiny space under the cabinet doors.

Poor kitty.

In the days following he is back to his normal obnoxious self, only now, softer and fluffier.  Perfect for cuddling, which you know he loves!

she says, "don't look at me"

I got home from running errands to see Mia was on neighborhood watch.

Apparently she thinks she's really well hidden.

I could only take a few pictures of her before she ran away, I guess upset that I had outed her from her super secret watching place.

She is nice.

Urgent! Special Weather Alert!

I get these weather alerts on my phone that are hit or miss when it comes to what actually happens with the skies.  My phone will be going crazy in my pocket with alerts about flash floods and tropical storms when the view out my window remains sunny and peaceful.

The detective, however, proves to be as reliable as old faithful.  We were sitting on the couch together when all of a sudden he looked out the window with terror in his eyes before slinking out of the room quickly but calmly.  I got no message from my phone and I couldn't see any clouds out my window but sure enough about 15 minutes later there was an afternoon thunderstorm.  I guess he had heard some distant thunder?

Of course the storm only lasted for a brief while and was hardly enough to even care about.  I forgot all about it by the time I went in to the bathroom and found him, still sitting here.  When I came around the corner he gave me a look like, "this is my hiding place and there's only enough room for one"

I closed the door and left him to his hiding.
