[Photos] The cats outside.

[moonvoice]

A few times a year, we let the cats outside for some supervised playtime.
Which means Glen and I stay outside the entire time they're outside.
I usually toddle on out with my camera,
and then photos ensue.
So, anyway, we let the cats out yesterday!


Maybe loves the sand!










Her tawny agouti colouring is so pretty.

















At this point, I called her name.





And then she picked up speed.





And came running. Maybe's recall is intense.





Didn't I also have another cat? Who hates it when Maybe invades his space?









Sometimes he's hard to find because he camouflages so well.





Or he's running away.





But if you catch him in the sand, he will frolic.





I love this pose. He does this inside all the time too.









No, Pia, stop it! I am graceful! I AM GRACEFUL!





"Let me perform for you the dance of my people..."





Moet having a flehmen reaction.
























The end!

Aah they are so gorgeous! I love how adorable Moet can be.

Moet is ridiculous! :D I'm so glad you like them!

Hee. :D Few things make me happy the way watching cats roll in sand do, it sounds weird, but it just fills me with glee. So thank you for posting these! (Particularly because I am in serious cat withdrawals right now bleeh).

The Flehman response is honestly one of my favourite cat facial expressions. :)

I love watching cats roll in the sand too! Especially when it's sunny and they're all like 'bldkjslfhdsfjdsaklf' with glee. *g*

I sometimes miss living with cats so intensely! Thank you for sharing yours with us; they are so lovely.

[moonvoice]

Aw I'm glad you enjoyed their shenanigans!

[clare_dragonfly]

Awww, such pretty kitties! ♥

[moonvoice]

They are cute. :)

[ariestess]

My goodness, you have some beautiful cats! Photogenic and adorable as hell!

[moonvoice]

They are little show offs! I'm pretty sure Maybe is aware of just how cute she is.

[ariestess]

LOL! I've a feeling she is, too...

[thelittleone]

Maybe and Moet are so precious! Thank you for sharing these photos :DDD

[moonvoice]

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed them! *g*

"Let me perform for you the dance of my people..."

Totally brilliant!! XD

[moonvoice]

"Let me perform for you the dance of my people..."

Hehe, I saw it and had to put it in! :D

[thousanth]

They are so beautiful and they look so happy! :D

[moonvoice]

They are happy kitties, or we try and keep them happy, anyway! :D

Cats always seem to take such visible, visceral pleasure in things, and Moet and Maybe are no exceptions. They make *me* want to roll around in the sand, which... not really, for myself, but it's obvious how marvelous they find it. I also particularly like all the photos of Maybe coming towards you. They really capture her grace. And that green shrubbery shows Moet off to great advantage. :)

[moonvoice]

Yes, I know what you mean about wanting to give it a try and see if it's as much glorious fun as they make it out to be! Moet and Maybe both love rolling in sun-warmed sand (they won't do it if the sun's not out). :D

I wonder if cats roll in sand to try to "wash" off possible parasites or if it's just because it's warm and feels good. Hrm.

Kitty bellies have got to be high on the list of "Cutest Things in the Universe".

[moonvoice]

It probably comes from a genetic drive to clean the fur of parasites and other things in arid environments, but I think they genuinely enjoy it, in the same way humans genuinely enjoy getting clean, or brushing their hair. It makes sense to physiologically enjoy something that also has additional benefits (like enjoying sex, for example).

This makes me wish I could roll around in the sunshine, myself. Every time my own cat does, or I see photos of other cats doing so, I'm envious. :)

[moonvoice]

It is fun to roll around in the sunshine! Though grass is better than sand. *g*

[foxboi]

Gorgeous looking cats with bright eyes <3
Thank you for the photos.
