As we all know, July was the wettest since 1888. We understand this, but how do you tell your cat when she sits at the window full of hope that the rain will stop? Molly, we have noticed, is a definite fair weather cat. As soon as the sun is up, she is there ready for her next big adventure. It has been awful to watch her waiting at the cat flap day after day for the clouds to lift so
she can watch for butterflies under the rose bushes. She brings the cabbage whites home at such a rate that Bri and I have thought about taking her down the plot as a pest controller. So far the rare butterflies have escaped her notice, thank goodness. Night time is a different story; then it is the turn of the moths to be dragged in. She is only tiny so perhaps she never will aspire to bigger prey! We can live in hope....

I hope Mollie made the most of this morning before the rain arrived again!
ReplyDeletePoor Molly! I hope that she doesn't blame you for the rain - my two think that I am omnipitant and create nice sunny days. Flattering, of course, but it's not fair to be blamed for something that's not my fault...
