Despite the popular theory that cats really hate water, it seems that there are nevertheless some who don't mind it. Take our cat Heloise for instance. It may appear from this photo that she simply got a bath. Not true. Turns out that she likes to chase the hose when I was watering the garden. We ran her around the backyard as the chased the stream of water (much like cats chase a laser pointer) and even blasted her directly a few times. All that seemed to do was harden her resolve to "catch that damn water once and for all". Ryan can be seen here dealing with the aftermath.
In other non-aquafeline news, we are making final preparation for leaving for England on Monday. Apparently that consists of going to a halibut barbecue at a local plant nursery, planting a red castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), going to the airport to pick up our friend from Illinois, and . . . oh casing the cat around the backyard with the hose. I for one have never felt more ready to travel.
