Keep your paws dry. Mr. Bowie, here’s a reality check: if you are out there in wet conditions—which could entail heavy rain showers, dew-soaked grass or melting snow—your paws are going to get wet. So-called “waterproof” paw-wear will not keep your paws dry. Don’t believe advertisements that make such claims. They are false.

Bowie je bent een echte super slimme poes!
Misschien was hij toch beter binnen gebleven…
Mwahaha….the look in his face is priceless.
He’s thinking what am I doing here…
Yeah;) And probably also: ‘Oy, pick me up already and carry me inside’.
Looks like time to come in Mr Bowie.
Guess he’s in a tight spot…
Poor kitty. But smart enough to find the only dry spot in the garden.
That’s no problem. Bowie loves to be outside when it’s raining…
His dry spot is shrinking fast…
I had to call the rescue team…
The boat rescue? 🙂
So cool that you can see his reflection on the wet pavement. Cats are so patient sometimes I think maybe he could wait so long that all the rain would dry up. Sleep mode?
I’m always wondering what cats are thinking on such moments… This is probably pure Zen…
What a fabulous shot! 🙂
Thank you! I was very happy with the reflection on the pavement…
Well Mr Bowie…that’s awkward!! Hugs Fozziemum x
Thank you, Fozziemum!
Hehee 🙂
LOL 😉 and of course Bowies situated in the one spot that is dry. BTW…I am totally in love with your garden. I love the symmetry and mixed media of the design…beautiful…very inspirational, actually.
Thank you, Paula. It took years of planning and saving money but I finally got a beautiful garden. We love hanging around there and just relax…
Mr. Bowie, you’re going to be sitting there for a while. I guess you never expected that much rain when you went under that table.
I think we could call him RainCat, he loves the rain but I don’t…
MaChatte will go out when it’s wet and even lay down and roll around in the wet grass. But as soon as a few drops actually fall on her, she’s ready to go in. Each has their own personality. We love ’em!
Yes we do!
Ha! I think Mr. Bowie wanted you to put down the camera and come rescue him.
Yep! I had to go outside and rescue my little friend…
One of my favorite shots. Mr. Bowie must have been sitting there for a while since the water is so still.
Thank you, J.L.
Mr. Bowie loves watching the rain for hours. He even likes playing in the rain…
Cats are sooo smart! I’m following your blog now. 🙂
Hi Geraldine, welcome on HoB. Thank you for following. Much appreciated!
How long did Mr Bowie wait there to collect the puddle around the dry patch? That is a classic piece of feline thinking. I love it.
This is smart thinking, not just cat instinct…
Looks like as long as Mr. B. stays put under the table that his paws will remain dry. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
It stopped raining just in time for Mr. Bowie’s dry paws…
Poor Mr. Bowie! At least he stayed dry. Right?
he he he Poor Mr. Bowie!

Looks like he had a little force-field bubble around him, the way the ground is dry in a circle around him… maybe it’s just Mr. Bowie’s charismatic energy that repels the rain. 🙂
I agree that it does look like Mr. Bowie was giving you the “rescue me” eye in that shot! Glad you complied with his wishes…..otherwise there would have been some heavy pouting going on I think.

You know he blames you Herman, even though you probably called him to hurry in…LOL, what a face!

Every time I look at this photo, I smile!
It goes without saying, this is definitely a Mr. Cheddar approved reblog.
Thanks to Hands on Bowie, one of mine and Chedsters new fav blogs.
Happy Labor Day Weekend!
Hi Geraldine. Thank you for this nice comment and for reblogging the post. Much appreciated. Bowie says “Meow!”
for a very brief moment I thought Mrs. Bowie poses like an owl, nonchalant and focus.
Oh my! Poor Mr. Bowie. One small dry spot.
Amazing photos, so crisp and clean and capturing so much personality!
