The Last Supper ********************
Its hot as a baked potaoe out there well what do I expect for the height of the sizzle season July?? I have been living on watermelon & homemade juice freezies for three days I think I have lost 4 kilos of weight in sweat in the last 72 hrs alone all the wooden doors here stick in the frames we tried to light a fire down on the beach after midnight and found it difficult as all the beach wood was wet from the great humidity and even scrap paper was too damp to take a flame squirrels just lay on branches by day gasping for air the birds don't fly in the sky during the heat of the day you can see lawns brown off right before your eyes Jinky seems to have gone into hibernation during the day' and at night slinks off into the darkness somewhere to find relief where he can find it after dark I take a little rug outside and just lay on it as friends drop by to chat after dark they slump into a folding chair and look down at me as we converse as if this was a funeral and i was the guest corpse stretched out even Dr Freud provided a couch for his nutcases so Im not mentally ill - just presumed dead nice to know the question all ask me is "Hows the red kitten? " I whistle for him and Jinky rises up yawning from the neibours porch & sort of strol s by to see what we are doing " You gotta cut out any canned soft food for cats in this weather it gets instantly full of fly eggs- feed them crunchies only or they get sick" .........good insight I just feed him crunchies because hes not always around at classical meal time ....I also learned "Grown up cats don't drink water at home they get it somewhere else- who knows where but you will hardly ever see a cat drink water at home" ........... another wonderful insight I can't recall Jinky drinking any of the water I give him he prefers fresh bathtub water with me in it as a garnish lakewater smoothies with all natural crap or puddles that form on driveways from lawn sprinklers as we discussed cat nutrition Jinky starts to barf on the driveway in two seconds he is emptied right out and trots off the drink from the neibours little decorative fishpond a quick inspection suggests that Jinky has been eating a fly egg free diet of clean yummy homestyle crunchies and not sneaking on any recent gulps soft catfood from some unauthorized pet feeding station a rare view of a healthy cats digestive process in mid summer.. I might write a Phd thesis on it someday I will never be accused of plagerism I start to get up in order to hose Jinkys gastric windfall off the driveway when he jogs back to the scene of the upchuck and merrily starts to eat it again afterall - its his food to do with as he wishes whats a ten minute delay between friends? how many times have I dropped an apple on the ground and picked it up wiped off the grit and began eating it again without another thought ? Nobody rose from a rug on the lawn and came after _me with a hose
