Purrs lovingly sent for Mike's safe return.

It is hard to let them go but, that is something we all have to do. I
remember the sadness when they left and the joy when they came home to
visit.

Temperatures are running in the 90s F and even over 100 F during the day
with 80-110% humidity and thunderstorms for over 14 of the last 21 days.
The owners are sleeping on the wheel chair platform as it is bare
platform and not warmed up. Or else they are on my book case (Tanada),
Mike's night stand (Qui Gun Kit), the ramp to the kitty enclosure (MCG),
the floor outside Mandy's room (Pine Cone), or under the bed (Sonya and
MCG). Some are actually sleeping on the sheets on our bed as there are no
blankets on my side of the bed. Rob has a quilt as he has a hard time
staying warm. Meow Meow has found a shady place on our porch under one of
the benches there.

Sonya is the only one that has a problem with thunder, she hides under
the bed. The rest come out and watch the light show. We had one storm
that included a cat in most of the windows. The heat is so bad that the
air conditioner isn't cooling below 80 F, though I had to reset the
thermostat to 73 F to get it down that much.

Fridays are our day to go to painting class at the cancer center. I'm
still a lousy artist, Rob is pretty good and Mandy is the best of us at
it. We have fun though and the center has better air conditioning than
we do.

Tomorrow we will be throwing Mike's going away dinner at a local Italian
restaurant. I'm going to miss him while he's gone.
