Plotting his next escape?
He was watching deer in the lower field.
.
“Please, missus, keep your boy contained?”
.
“Wouldn’t want to have to beat him up!”
Son of Little Red is a stroppy creature. He regularly chases off the grey squirrels that are twice his size.
.
What will this year’s crop of greys be like?
.
This one was a pale shade with a reddish tail.
.
This one, more compact and darker grey.
It enjoyed a piece of pear on the now clear patio.
.
The girl-cats love to go out for short walks and reluctantly, I adjusted to this as they always come back fairly promptly.
.
Lily does occasionally loiter more than I care for.
.
Dee Dee sometimes gets a lift home.
.
For a long time I couldn’t bear the thought of allowing Willow to go out, but eventually I was persuaded by the sight of her sitting hopefully by the door.
One day she was gone a few extra minutes and I ran around searching and getting upset.
She suddenly popped out from under a hedge with a look as if to say:
“It’s alright! I’m here!”
.
Muffin likes to take the air when the weather is fine.
She is so frail now, I’m afraid she would blow away in a puff of wind, but she doesn’t go far.
.
After inviting herself in, Blackie wanted no part of going back out for a very long time.
But these days she does like to poke about a bit around the flowerbeds on a good day.
.
Sophia began venturing out late last summer.
She too is very frail, so we keep a close eye but she stays near by and doesn’t stay out long.
.
The boy, on the other hand, is inclined to adventure.
Up the hill to stare at the chickens.
Down the field to see what’s what.
.
But his favourite place is Grant’s shoulder.
What will summer bring?
I’m willing to bet that Grant really loves to have him riding on his shoulder.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you, Carolyn, for your action packed post! Lots of lovely photos, and you can expect more adventures with your young boy. Happy days ahead!

I am sure some exciting adventures will begin this Spring 😀
Can’t wait to hear about them! 😊

A very fine bunch of feline friends. Comfort and worry all rolled up into one furry little ball…
The last comment was mine. Why WordPress decided to make me anonymous I have no idea. Perhaps AI now decides whether things are worthy of mention. Sometimes it has a point…
Cats and The Outside. It’s a true dilemma. More books need to be written about this.
What about a kitty harness for Little Man? Then he can go out but not escape. Mind you, I only have dogs that go out into a 3.5 acre fenced yard loose, so I am not familiar with cats and their desires. LOL!
