I'm consistently jealous of people in our complex because they have cats who they can let out on their porch without them running away. My kitties cannot be trusted to do that, so the closest we all get it when we open our sliding glass door and the only thing dividing babies from nature is the screen door.
Morris and Penelope absolutely LOVE it. However, it's been winter and far too cold to do that. I suppose we could, but neither James or I fancy increasing our already expensive electric bill. The heater has run enough as it is and doesn't need any additional help.
It finally warmed up a few weeks ago and ALL the windows were open that day. Fresh air filled the house and both cats had a field day looking out the window. I think Morris spent a solid five hours in front of it just watching/stalking the birds and any trash that blew across the yard. Penelope came and went, but she probably spent just as much time in front of it as Mo did.
And, I must say, they were way too adorable just sitting in front of the window together like a little team, plotting and scheming together.
