Kitties like you, are so pretty

cybermuleI'm currently really profoundly grateful that my kid doesn't start college until a week after the schools go back. This summer was awful for a variety of reasons. Yet this week of grace is perfect warm summer weather and I can at least get back some of what I lost.
Because it's hot, I've turned the aircon on. It's a cheap little water cooled portable unit that I bought over the winter because last summer was just really fucked up hot. Nightmare dystopian hot. This year, not so much. But the air con is on. And whenever I start it up after a break, I chuck half a steriliser tablet in it because I don't want legionnaires disease.
LOL
And I profoundly miss my little cat. I've had two cats, both of which shunned catnip but would go a bit loopy for chlorine-y smells. And the steriliser tablet makes my room smell of swimming pool.
And I miss Ziggy. I miss her casually strolling in pretending it was nothing to do with the faint aroma of chlorine. And sniffing the air delicately and ecstatically to get her kitty hit.
Loss is often the small details.
