Just hearing the words "96 degrees" makes me want to melt. It hasn't quite hit that where I live (KY), but it's gotten close. it's also starting to get humid already, which is just a big fat no from me.

Your minimalism project sounds neat! Best of luck with continuing it. :)

The whims of cats are truly ineffable, lol. I hope your plan for the plywood board works out and the cats love it.
