Summer with Otto and Lumi: Cats, Fishing, and Hydration
The summer has been a relaxed time for Otto and Lumi, who spend much of their days going in and out of the cat door onto the garden. Lumi, who has spent a year in a shelter, is enjoying her first summer here and is described as very happy and spoiled. Otto has grown fond of her, and they share a mutual affection when Lumi considers him worthy of attention.
The author reflects on the phrase “gone fishing,” noting that it originally meant spending a quiet day by the water and has evolved into a reminder to step away from work, unplug, slow down, and enjoy life. Cats, the author says, understand this instinctively. They know that rest isn’t laziness, follow their curiosity, savor the moment, and disappear when it’s time to recharge.
The post encourages readers to ensure their cats receive enough water and to enjoy peaceful summer moments with quiet discoveries and plenty of cat naps. The author plans to return in August.
