WE INTERRUPT YOUR ONGOING CON.TXT COVERAGE FOR A VERY IMPORTANT LIVE NEWS UPDATE

[melannen]

This is a picture of my sister's cat Bingley, on one side of the screen on the screen porch. On the other side of the screen on the screenporch, and by "on the other side" I mean they are both practically touching it, is a rather young baby bird that can't quite fly yet.

This situation has been ongoing for about half an hour now, up and down the front of the porch. The baby bird either realizes Bingley can't get to it and is being gratuitously cruel to her, or genuinely thinks the cat is its mummy; it is not acting scared, it is acting bratty.

On the upside, Bingley has so far resisted the temptation to claw at the screen! \o/ Good kitty, I forgive you for puking where I would step in it barefoot last night.

(We are all out on the screenporch because after almost a week straight of 90°F+/35°C weather with humidity averaging 50%, even having a very well-designed, all-masonry house no longer quite cuts it.)

Kitty!!!!

Kitten television is even more fascinating than usual today, for sure!

Kitten television is always fascinating, but screenporch makes it better!

BIRDIE. :DDD

Our AC is being very strange. The top floor of the house is twenty degrees warmer than the basement. The cat has asked a couple of times to go outside, then changed his mind when he discovered how hot it really was.

They broke records at Dulles, BWI, and Baltimore downtown today.

(I have no AC! The basement is usually 20 degrees cooler than the top floor! Occasionally more like 40.)
