Skies


The skies finally opened up last evening, on our way to see R's new house. To be in a good position, in his life and financially, to buy a house these days, is quite fortunate, and he is justifiably happy about the whole endeavor. So, we piled into his car, and went to see. And on the way, the rain hit. Huge drops, heavy downpour making it difficult to see, then a minute or so of hail. Impressive storm for this part of the world. Moby hid in the back of the closet the whole time, only coming out when we got back, long after the weather had blown over, with some gentle coaxing. But he can't resist hanging out when friends are over.

He did spend some time in the dryer, though. He seems to find it comforting this week.

That might be the most lighted photo I've seen Moby in. Nice.

My cat also occasionally goes into the dryer, only ever when I'm there about to fill it as the door otherwise is always shut.

mbick,
Rare we get him with a white background. This is D's photo.

Phil,
We sometimes leave it open for him. The sounds as he jumps up into it, then scrabbles around, then jumps down, amuse us.

Years ago I accidently tumble dried a siamese, It was very traumatic for me and her sister she was very cross.

Maybe he expects it to transport him to a magical alternate realm...

den,
Oh, I am so sorry. The dryer is on eye level, so there is little danger of trapping Moby in it. We will always check, though.

Pacian,
I do suspect as much.

I love the photo.
Our cats like the shower-good acoustics...
