First wash for GBMINI#6

Since getting GBMINI#6 back in January, things have always seemed to work against me getting her washed; cold winter weather, weekend trips to Florida, heavy rain … she’s been washed a few times by MINI of Peabody, but finally this past weekend there was no excuse (apart from waiting till the sun dropped behind trees, to avoid the water boiling off – we’ve had an early summer with temps around 90!)

Drying the top is tricky, maybe it’s best just to leave it to dry on it’s own!

Hot cat

It’s been super hot today – around 90 (and the same again expected for the next few days) … From her normal winter behaviour of trying to keep rolled up and as warm as possible, Bridgette had to switch today to finding a way to keep cool; spreading out long and thin was her chosen technique!

Of course, it might be better not to lay on a quilt, but she hasn’t figured that out yet!

Sadly she’s getting quite old now, very stiff (arthritic? if cats get it) and thin – but she still does eat most days, and seems to remain happy in her life (we think she’s around 15 now)
