Summer is here!
In the literary world, this would be called foreshadowing:
Danger, danger, Will Robinson!
So, apparently we're living in the driest continent in the world, which makes it pretty darn hot. I should know, coz last year when the crazy bushfires broke out, we didn't have any air conditioning and it hit 46C/115F. Mav and I would just lie on the bathroom floor all day and stare blankly like zombies.
The old folks got really worried and tried to freeze moist towels but it was pretty lame. Mav and I are both cold weather cats for crying out loud - I have stupidly thick fur, and Mav. Well Mavie is a giant fluffball.
It sucked.
It's going to be 39C/102F today, and the parents were like well. Let's get them prepped for summer, and I thought what? You're going to put us out of the misery and roast us with some rosemary on a rotisserie?
No, worse.
I got ninja-ed into a BATH! AHHHHHH!!! NoooOOoooOoooOoo!
No cameras! I refuse to look like Nick Nolte's mugshot on the web!

Mom and Dad have got it down to an art now, and we don't get very freaked out. In fact. To illustrate that point. Mav, the perfect and loveable golden child, will demonstrate.
Why are you talking to me in such a soothing voice? Is that Enya playing in the background?
You're going to soap up my bum? Sure, do I get dinner with that?
Look. It's like he's wading a kiddy pool in Bali. Not even a peep. You can't hear it, but he was humming "dumdeedumdeedoo..." Damn kid is always making me look bad.
At least he put up a fight when we got combed out:
I kill joo! I'm a killer kitty of all inanimate objects!

I could get used to being Australian.
