We asked for rain in drought ridden Southern California… and we got it!
Our sump pump quit working… the plumbing company really screwed up… so we’re looking for a more reliable plumbing company licensed to work in Culver City.
In the meantime our garages were flooded… water came in ten feet past the garage door… I managed to move most of my stuff to the back of the garage out of harms way.
One of the neighbors bought a pump and no thanks to the plumbing company who were supposed to fix this problem last Tuesday, the water level is going down.
We are expecting more rain tonight. Then a break on Saturday. More rain on Sunday. If this doesn’t get us out of the drought, nothing ever will.
I have been worried silly about the garage flooding. But Frankie’s attitude is “What flood? I’m warm and dry, thank you. That’s all that matters.”
It’s a cat’s life.

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear this, Roslyn. Yes, Frankie has the right attitude, but still. Stay safe!

Glad you are getting the rain you need but sorry about your garage. Cats never worry until their food dishes are submerged!

I can see the cat dishes floating down the street with the cats swimming after them! Well, on second thought, they would expect me to swim after them!

My cats don’t like to get their paws wet so for use they would expect someone else to get them.

Good luck with staying dry! Too bad you cannot adopt Frankie’s attitude, literally, and just call it a day. 😸

Thank you. More rain today, we are pumping away, water rising, but by Tuesday/Wednesday we should have sunshine for a few days so fingers crossed!
