Exploring cat .......

We have a very timid cat - had it since it was a kitten and it came home to a house with four other cats.  Over the years it has become our only cat.  It's black.  It's quite small.  It's very stupid (or is that cat clever!!)

She doesn't come out in the garden unless we are there, at least one of us has to be there and if not, then we have to leave the back door open and be still in view!!!

Whilst we have been out pruning the Buddlias etc. she has ventured out.  Not a good day as it was a bit windy (doesn't like windy weather) and prunings were falling down (she's not keen on a lot of noise!) but out she came.

She spotted the space where the old pond used to be ................ that's new ......

Eventually, after much watching, sniffing, moving cautiously, she managed to get herself into the space.

We thought we had lost her as she was under the bushes for sooooo long and being black, in the shade - need I say more?!!




We knew she was there ............ we could see her tail!!!!

Sorry - I cannot alter this picture - it is a landscape that has turned portrait!!!

She sat watching spiders move, sniffing smells ........... forever ............... and then ran out and into the house like a black streak.


 It appears that she was very tired as she went to bed and slept the rest of the day until the smell of the chicken cooking on the barbie woke her up!!
