A hot day begins.

Regular cats and birds are around this morning, but it is pretty quiet, apart from the family of bluetits, who are feeding now. 

A pterodactyl (heron?) has just flown past my window. 
The hidden birds in my garden are now complaining, so they are there, keeping cool in the trees.

Yesterday I found that matt detangle brush/comb in the pet shop, at a cheaper price too (so I cancelled my Amazon order on a similar item).
Came home with my prize, and introduced it to Midnight.
He looked suspicious, but I started combing with it. All was going well. Loads of dead fur coming out, when suddenly it removed some matted fur from his skin. It just came out as I was combing with this detangle thingy, Midnight hissed at me. But he wasn't angry with me. I don't think it hurt because I hadn't tugged with it, but I think he didn't like the sensation. 
So, I carried on, a second hiss as another bit of matted stuff came out. But he wasn't cross with me. It must be a weird sensation for him. 
But he was okay for me to continue (well, put it this way, he didn't go for me, and his claws were still sheathed).
Third hiss as a huge bit of matted stuff came out.
I am now half a bucket of Midnight's fur later, so I stopped.
He immediately offered his tummy for tickles. Slightly apprehensively I tickle. But all is well. He wasn't cross with me for using the detangle device.

Now I realise how much needs doing to his thick fur coat. It might take a couple of weeks (at this rate), even with this new detangle device.

Jade is now polishing off the rest of the wet cat food and is now on to cat biscuits. No more wet food until tonight, too many flies around.

Midnight is sitting on the coir mat immediately outside my open bedroom door. He likes to be near as I am doing stuff. He followed me around inside the bungalow as I was getting his breakfast ready earlier.

Creative today is a kaleidoscope in Laboscope. I think I've overworked it - I was experimenting - trying to create the already hot day.... Oh well.

The skies above me are cross-crossed with the white trails of aeroplanes.

Time for another cuppa...
