As the spring weather has finally rolled in, our cats have become overly-interested in going outside to explore. Normally Cleo is perfectly content inside watching the action from the safety of the window, and actually becomes terrified if she is outside. Jazz is a different story, she seems to like the outdoors, and begs to go out if there is another cat outside because she needs to "defend her turf". On Sunday I decided to go ahead and let the cats soak up the sun and chase the bugs. Cleo was first, I put on the harness and leash and took her outside. She was a little bit hesitant about leaving the front porch at first, but she saw that Bob, Ricky and I were with her so she began to explore. Before too long, her mom came along, and Cleo was able to have a mini family reunion. I let Cleo play with her mom for a while until her mom left and then it was Jazzy's turn. Jazzy immediately started rolling around in the dirt on the porch and wrapping herself in the leash. I took her down to the grass, and then she became a little too aggressive. I tried to pet her and she hissed at me and swatted her paw at me. She doesn't have claws, so it didn't hurt, but needless to say I marched her straight back inside and she didn't get to play outside any more!

The leaves must have been cozy, she sat there
for a while. |

I wonder if she remembers this used to
be her home, before we adopted her... |
