Phewf it is H_O_T and poor Holly does not know what to do with herself - she keeps finding the cool patches of floor and tries to sleep away the day.

So, today I have been investigating various intriguing things to buy for a her further indulgence.

Arriving this week should be....

• a cat fountain, which hols 3 litres of water which is recircualted, aerated and filtered
• a cat scratching 'wave' in an attempt to distract her from the living room carpet (which may be legally mine and taxable as a benefit in kind but it still needs to be protected from pussy cats!)
• a selection of cat grass, cat-mint and other cat-euphoria-inducing plants to grow and locate around the place for her to nibble

Oh yes, I ordered some groceries for myself too!
