🐾 I watched a butterfly for a while this morning. I had no intention of catching it. Some things are worth paying attention to because they're beautiful for a little while. Humans could save themselves a surprising amount of stress if they stopped trying to own every pleasant moment they experience.

I heard my human and the Spare saying today is going to be another day with the heat index around 105° (whatever that is). He already looks like a 10-year-old cat toy that's been in the litter box from the last two days of oppressive heat. They said they're not setting foot outside today. Goody!

I have concluded that humans don't actually lose things. You simply put them somewhere so creative that even your future self can't find them. My human spent ten minutes looking for his glasses. They were on his head. I said nothing. Some lessons are expensive. #CatsKnowBest #LotusPurrspective
