Melanie and the Mermaids

Our cat Melanie is 15 years old. Summer is not her favorite time of year. Usually you can find her in places where she tried to stay cool - in front of a fan, in the sink or the bathtub (the porcelain must be cooler for her).

This morning, I found her in the bathtub. Marina had taken a shower last night, so her mermaid toys were still in there. It made for a funny picture.

I can't help but wonder if Melanie thought of herself as the "Mermaid Hunter" as she lounged next to the seemingly helpless mermaids.
