風神 - breathe on me

Worshiping the winds because the Kanto area of Japan is under a heat wave at the moment.

(Update: what did we know that it even got more intense later in the summer.)



And the gods sent fans for each of our cats.

Location: Narita, Chiba, Japan

  It doesn't show but I am already 19. Don't you think that I am looking much younger? Another 7 years and I will make it in the list of longest-living cats on Wikipedia, another 19 and I will be at the top. Knock on wood.

We are the cats

I am no fan of manga and anime, so I changed the characters from  禿び  to  小美 and gave the latter  the "not entirely correct" reading  chibi. 　 小（ち） 美　（ び） 小美  is her name now: Chibi, the little beauty. 小美　新しい読み方:　 小（ち） 美　（ び） Ein sogenannter Dachhase. On the lookout for "Ubereats Cat"(=me). Gemini says: The term "Dachhase" is a German word that literally translates to "roof hare." However, it's not actually a type of hare. Here's a breakdown of its meaning:   Figurative Meaning: 1) It's a humorous or colloquial term for a house cat. 2) Historically, it also referred to cat meat, particularly during times of food scarcity. This connection arose because a prepared cat could resemble a hare, and cats are known to climb onto roofs...
