The (Almost) MS Worst Nightmare

For a month, it was pure heven! The first monsoon season in over 4 years. Every afternoon, skies cloud up . . . Rumbles that has poor Prince Hopper Bopper running around, desperate to find safety, and his big brother Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt, Adventure Cat just telling him, "kid, CHILL! Nothin's coming to get you!". . . And the rain comes down and I can walk my full 3 laps around the park which equals 3 miles, but I look like a drowned rat when I come in and I don't care as the temps have cooled considerably . . .

However this weekend was the demise of 2 vital things . . .

The monsoons . . .

And the A/C!

I love the names of your cats, very thought provoking πŸ‘

Thank cyou. As weird as it sounds, I generally let my furry babies name themselves. By that I mean, I don't name them right away. I get to know them a little better; something about their personalities or appearance just might spark a name. I'll often come up with several, but I watch to see which one they respond to. Hopper got his name by doing a little hop before any other move. He liked Hopper and Bopper . . . as long as you don't say "Baby Bopper". He gives you serious stink eye if

you do that.

I hope you get your A/C back soon.

Our cat hides in the basement whenever the sound of thunder occurs. Not phased in the least when the tornado sirens are going off, just so long as there is no thunder. Hope your AC gets fixed quick. I keep seeing window units under $200 everywhere, and since I'm overly frugal I keep the bedroom set to chill full time as a personal cooling center, while I really hold off as much as I can on the whole house AC big electric bills. Our power company emails everyone their energy saving performance regularly compared to our area neighbors, and apparently this works well.

I thought about those window units . But, our house only has one window one up/down open ability. Otherwise, they are all sideways opening ability. And without being able to close a window securely around a window unit, Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt would climb out to meet up with his BFF, Tuxedo Thom who lives in the storm drain. That would be fine until Johnny T. Asks where Tuxy Tom has his Purina Cat Chow Indoor formula and he's told there ain't no kibble, only lizards, roaches, and maybe a bird. Hopper, on the other paw, doesn't want to go outside because he's convinced he'd become a pooch snack.

since i've had two bouts of heat exhaustion with vomiting indoors with the a/c blasting, i think i'd die if i were you. i hope it gets repaired ASAP, or sooner.

and i just have to say the cat names as well as your handle are brilliant. πŸ˜€
