Photo/s of the day II

Guess who let the cats outside today? :D


We did! :D






They could hardly believe it at first. Maybe was all wary. But Moet took to it like a BOSS.





Then Maybe started to roll around.





And she rolled some more.





And then she got up to roll some more.





And then she got up and found another spot and she rolled around some more. It was easily the most relaxed I'd seen her in months and months.





Glen and I were on 'spray bottle' duty. We supervise them outside. Moet is the one most likely to jump the fence right in front of us, and unlike Maybe - who takes her time deciding - Moet will look and just do it. So we mostly had the spray bottles to keep him away from the fence he could climb. Hi Glen!





He needn't have worried about Maybe. She found somewhere else to roll.





And roll some more!





Then she slunk around. I find it amazing watching her move. It's just incredibly different to how Moet and other cats I've had walk around.





She's all pretty and stuff.





Then she wanted some grass.





Which tasted really good!





Maybe, how did you manage to surround your face with a cloud of sand?





She explored the section which is actually garden last of all.





And there she saw a Moet! And they had a Mexican stand-off.





Which he broke first by casually sauntering by her. Though in this shot, she was seriously thinking about pouncing the crap out of him.





Then she decided to eat Moet's grass, because his was nicer than hers.





Then Moet decided to roll around.





Moet likes checking all the plants. This is a woollybush which grew from seed. We never bothered maintaining it because it was an an inconvenient place (it will need to be pulled out for paving), and now it's kind of massive.





Maybe smelling a weed.





'Don't know what to think of this weed!'





My slinky girl!




And then we food lured them back inside! So all in all, they had a wonderful day.

It's great to see them having such fun, and your weather also looks delightful. (We're having nice weather during the day here, but it's rainy and therefore snowing in the high country, and when the wind comes down it's chilly and smells of snow!)

I don't know if you have space and/or if it works for your plans for the garden, but you could build a run outside for the cats so you could let them out without having to stand guard armed with a squirt bottle. Sort of like an aviary, but with the wire buried around the sides (so they couldn't dig under), and also with a source of shade, and possibly something fun to climb so they could look around from up high.

Aww, they're both so cute and look like they were really enjoying the time outside ^_^. One of my cats gets so excited when I bring him blades of grass inside--he seriously acts like I'm giving him treats or catnip--while the other cats will eat some of the grass but don't get excited over it. I like the 'Mexican stand-off' picture, and it makes me think of how cats will "hide" behind something that leaves them quite noticeably in plain sight (like Moet behind a few blades of grass), but they act like they are completely hidden from what they are stalking xP; stealthy-ness fail.

I had a really terrible day. I enjoyed escaping a little bit and relaxing with your cats. Thank you.

They look like they had so much fun! And the idea of Maybe rolling around like that made me giggle.

[toeknuckles]

Haha, that photo of Glen made me laugh out loud. Spray bottle bandit! 8-D

Aww, I love your kitties. And wow - your garden sure has grown! It's looking great!

Your own personal Nat Geo episode! I sometimes imagine David Attenborough narrating when I watch my kitty.

I love the mexican stand off shot. It's so great!

[white_rabbit]

I LOVE photos of your kitties outside. They both just seem so relaxed and in their element. I love it when cats roll on grass/sand/pavement. SO CUTE.

My favourite is the Mexican stand-off. :D

Absolutely gorgeous photographs, and lovely kitties. You captured Maybe's movements well. She is slinky!

[fadedwings]

I love these pictures! The cats look so great and like they are having so much fun :)

[tsukikokoro]

Eee! Kitties! I'm so happy the results were positive, and you were treated to a relaxed and happy Maybe. I'm going to join the chorus in saying the mexican standoff pic is my favorite.

Hehe truly lovely :-DDD!
