It’s hot, Mom. I don’t think I like this.

You’re fine, Quint. We’re all okay. It’s only hot outside, not in here.

Yes, it’s hot. It is the end of July, after all. We keep all our blinds closed this time of year and keep our temperature inside at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, though sometimes (and don’t tell Dad), she bumps it up to 76. We don’t go any higher because it affects Dad’s MS and because we don’t want melty cats left and right.

Meanwhile, Tessa’s melting onto the fleece blanket. Thanks, Tessa. You’re really “helping” to make our case here.

Mom, don’t get all excited or anything, but I think I might be open to a fur trimming.

Whoa, mark your calendars, people!

So what if it’s warm? All I need is a tasty box and I’m fine.

Thanks, Viola. You always have the right thing to say.

Since accidently “sharing” her new box a few weeks ago, Viola’s not strayed far from it. Clearly, she takes Box Patrol very, very seriously. We imagine her weekly schedule looks something like this: Sunday: Box Patrol. Monday: Box Patrol. Tuesday: Box Patrol. Wednesday: Box Patrol. Thursday: Box Patrol. Friday and Saturday: Box Patrol and Box Patrol, all with the usual smatterings of breakfast, brushies, litter box time, lunches, snacks, litter box time, brushies, and dinner sprinkled throughout.

We hope to ease her concerns by introducing two new boxes upstairs that Quint and Pia have adopted. Tessa took over Quint’s old box up there so all should be good for the time being. Just in case, we have another box at the ready should anything unforeseen happen like one of Tessa’s thankfully infrequent, yet infamous hairball barfs.

Gosh, we hope she isn’t conjuring up one of those now!

You may be pushing your luck there, Quint. Pia is most definitely not a Touch Noses kind of girl.

Then again, and just lately, the two gingers Pia and Quint have been seen together. Not together together, not snuggling together, not walking side-by-side together. Pia has a fairly short fuse. Quint on the other hand, is very easy going and wants to be friends with nearly everybody.

This is as close as you’ll find Quint and Pia sleeping together. Bonus shot: There are two new cat-dedicated boxes in the house! See? It was all about patience.
