Moggie Madness

It’s a sweltering one in Brisbane today…..the weather bureau forecasted 32 deg.C for a top in my area today. Considering it was 31 deg.C at 10am, there was never any doubt that it would climb higher towards the afternoon. We’re now sitting at 38 deg.C and not enjoying it in the slightest. The cats are both flaked out in their relative cool spots - one under the futon in the back room here and the other on the tiles out in the kitchen. They are being rather sensible.

I just went to make sure that the cat’s water bowl was full and found that the cats aren’t the only ones finding it a bit hot to cope with at the moment. There in the middle of their water bowl was a very large one of these. The biggest jolly black house spider I have ever seen, just swimming around in their water bowl!

Needless to say, I squealed like the girl I am and dropped the bowl. How it didn’t break, I have no idea. Did I take a photo, no I did not! I just wanted spider outside ASAP so the man of the house was kind enough to take care of it for me. Meanwhile, Mojo had come bolting in from the kitchen to see what the fuss is about and has spent the last ten minutes following me around. It seems he knows that when I squeal like that, it usually means there is something to play with - he’s probably wondering where he can find his latest toy.
