A taste of freedom
We decided, after three months in the new house, it’s time for the cats to start checking out the neighborhood. We’re not going to let them out very often, but we want them to know where they live, in case they get out accidentally. And it’s fun to watch them explore.
Next time we’ll let Murg out too, but she has a history of being a bit harder to get back in. Like when she got in the crawl space at the old house and wouldn’t come out for a few hours.

Pretty day for it. I was walking down my street tonight when someone put their cat out, but he/she seemed so shocked by the cold (about 15 degrees) that I couldn’t get him/her to come to me. Seemed a bit cold for a cat, but I assume they knew what they were doing.
Our two cats have had several chances (not by design, totally by accident) to blow town, and have stuck around with great and concerted decisiveness. We’re flattered, honestly — it’s nice to be preferred over full freedom. Doesn’t hurt that we feed them and let them get away with murder, but I like that they apparently notice and appreciate that they have something good going here.
