Jasper in the sink

It's been pretty hot these past few days, and even though we have air conditioning I still think it's important to find a good cool place to hang out. I have a few favorite spots, but the sink has got to top them all.


Here I am with my classic "turn off that light" pose. It tends to work real well for napping in the middle of the day when the big window is allowing lots of afternoon sun in.

Thanks for all the visits and comments lately. I know this is becoming a refrain, but I haven't been visiting as much as I like and it means so much that my cat friends still pop over and visit. I'm not ignoring you, really. There just seems to be less free time for Mom and Dad to help me visit blogs (unfortunately I do need their thumbs). But we're working on their time management.

I wanted to respond to a couple of comments from yesterday's Wordless Wednesday. I was playing with Mom when the pictures were taken. These were two of a series of pictures of me. I was trying to get the camera strap while Mom was trying to get a picture of me. I think we both had fun, but I think I had more fun. Also, the spots on my nose are freckles and not scratches. Mom and Dad were very concerned when I was a kitten because of a large spot on my lip. But then they learned that freckles are common on orange kittens.

Thanks for all the nice comments ... I appreciate my cat blog friends more than I can really say.

Mancat Monday

We spent a good bit of the weekend hanging out with Dad, since Mom's still away with her dad. But boy did it get hot here in Columbia!


When I wasn't biting Dad's calf for attention, or bouncing the shirts he was trying to fold, I was hanging out in the cool sink. It's definitely summer in the South.

Easy Like Sunday

Today is a good day for the sink ... sunny and a little warm, but not hot, and just tired enough to nap the day away. Wait, isn't that every day?


Sometime you need to rest you chin on the cool counter...


...and sometimes you need to kick your feet up.

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a nice Memorial Day weekend -- Aunt Tiff came to visit, so Mom and Dad spent less time in the yard and more time around us, which was good. Aunt Tiff also bought us some of the coolest toys, which I have pictures of and will post soon. (Let's just say FEATHERS...)

In the last picture with me in the sink, many asked if I get wet in the sink. I usually nap in the second sink that Mom and Dad don't usually use (the stopper won't stay up, which is inconvenient for them, but makes a smooth bowl for me) but silly Maggie sometimes gets excited and will lay in the other sink right after Dad turns the water off and she will get wet, and leave little wet short cat hairs all over the sink. She's silly that way.

(Lots of good pictures coming soon...)
