It was really cold here (at least for southern California) for weeks! So I didn’t get to go outside for a long while. It finally warmed up, so my human took me out front on a brief outing. Why the front and why so brief? Because yesterday she saw a bobcat on the back patio! She has seen them on our security cam a couple times but never on the patio during the day. She had no idea they were so big! But the weather warmed up a bit and she knew I wanted to go out. So she took me out front for a few minutes. It was still cool enough for me to wear my gray velvet coat, but not that chilly.
One of the first things I usually do in the front is jump on the concrete table. My human has been referring to it as the “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood table” because there’s one just like it in the movie. It’s in front of the Tate house and the guy playing Roman Polanski sits at it. The only star that ever sits at this one is me.
I also got to walk on the lawn for a little while.
Because we are open to the street, occasionally a car or truck passes by. My human likes that because it helps train me not to be startled by traffic noise. But usually our street is pretty quiet. In case you are wondering, yes, our street is on a hill slope.
I like to sniff the air, and all the fresh things outside. One thing I didn’t get to sniff was something some critter left behind. It wasn’t a dog — my human recognizes what dog poop looks like. It actually looked like a cat left it… a big cat! So my human figures the bobcat may have been out front at some point too. Ew.
By then it was time to go back in anyhow. It was almost dinner time… and my human didn’t tell me, but I got a bath before dinner! I have a very busy week coming up and I need to look my best.

Already visited the 15th but happy to visit again. Love the coat. So fetching on you. It’s a good color on you. Stay away from those big kitties. Not too friendly
It sounds like you have the same kind of “problem” we have here in the Springs. Developers are buying up land that used to be wild space and throwing up cheap houses to make a few bucks. So the wildlife that have always lived in those places are trying to find a place that’s safe and that has food and water handy. What price “progress?”
I love that coat Summer. Beware those bobcats. Nice to look at but at a safe distance. We now have coyotes around here in upstate New York urban area. Very scary for kitties. Mine stay in and not fond of leashes. I saw a video of a tuxie fighting off 4 coyotes on his patio. Holdon my breath, along with his owners. The kitty won. Whew. But still, keep kitty inside safe. Buy a treadmill people
Summer, all of your outfits are beautiful on you! Even if you didn’t take a bath! Please be careful, bobcats are very sneaky predators.
Have fun and be safe!
Such a lovely “coat”. Very stylish and a bit retro.
Love you Jacket Summer,but that is scary about the Bobcat,xx Speedy
You look extra cute in your coat. A bobcat around is scary.
A Bobcat! OMC, that’s scary Summer. We can only imagine how big those poo balls were too, MOL. You girls be careful. Poor cats, so many are being pushed out of their natural habitats. Thank goodness you have cameras outside. And what a beautiful day for a visit outside. Love your jacket. Purrs
Your jacket is adorable! And so are you! I like that you have to sit on the table every time you go out there, a creature of habit.
Love your jacket, Summer! We have deer, coyotes, rabbits, foxes, raccoons, skunks, squirrels, and chipmunks. A bear was sighted about half a mile from my house once. I actually saw it when I was driving home late one night. Until I heard about it on the news, I thought I was hallucinating! And I live in a suburban neighborhood…there is a Walmart about a quarter of a mile from my house! You be careful out there!
A bobcat? And here we thought the only big cats around your house were the Oxy Tigers. MOL.
You look very smart in your grey velvet jacket!
It’s crazy that you have a bobcat that’s been in your yard! We expect that kind of activity here in rural OK. Some people in Tulsa, OK (downtown) have reported seeing coyotes on their RING doorbell apps!!! Be safe out there, Summer.
XOXO
Bath or not your always beautiful
Gotta watch out for wildlife, Summer!
Looks like you had a fun, and fashionable, outing. Cousin bobcat is definitely to be avoided. We get the occasional coyote here.
Bobcats are so beautiful! But be careful Summer! How rude they left a stinky gift!
A bobcat?!? Holy cats! We hope it goes back to his home!
You look so sophisticated in that jacket!!! Stay safe with that bobcat around!
Whoa! The bobcat must want to meet a celebrity such as yourself.I wouldn’t grant him a meeting though.
OMC!
How exciting! It is sad though. MK says animals are being pushed out of their habitats by hoomans and are going into places peeps live because there is food there.
I think that is shameful!
I liked your outfit, too!
Purrz!

You look lovely in your jacket. It was nice that you were able to go out and feel the grass between your toes.
Gorgeous as always and we love your jacket!…Too bad about the bath!…We think you always look purrfect, sweet friend!…XO…J, Halle, Sukki
A bobcat ? Amazing ! But we’re glad your human is careful and makes sure you are safe. We hope she’s got a big scoop to scoop… well… you know… for the bobcat… just in case ! Purrs
Summer darling should you tire of Modeling I’m absolutely positive you could find work as a Purrsonal Shopper.
You have exquisite taste. Love today’s jacket
Hugs Cecilia
Your coat is beautiful. So’s your yard. Personally I’d love to see a bobcat.
Bobcats, wow! Beautiful but definitely best viewed from a safe distance. And that coat looks great on you.
I love that jacket! Does it come in human sizes?
Unfortunately not, or my human would pick one up!
You look wonderful in your gray coat and I’m glad you were able to get out to enjoy the weather and walk on the grass. Wow a bobcat in the area would be a scary thing. Bad enough that we have coyotes. I don’t let my kitties out because of it.
So very stylish, Summer! Glad you didn’t have a face-to-face with a bobcat, even if they are very handsome creatures.
A bobcat? That is both rather frightening and very cool, Summer!
Purrs,
Tama and Genji

***purrsss*** BellaDharma
Holy carp! A bobcat! You be careful out there, Summer!
You will have to be careful to check out the area from
windows before an outing if bobcats are coming around.
They would probably be very interested in a small kitty
like yourself! You look great in that coat by the way!
Summer you have GOT to wear that out! ADORABLE! You must let others see it!!!
You sure had fun out there sweet Summer and yes, avoid those bobcats!
Walks are great. Please watch out for the bobcat though.
That jacket looks great on you, Summer. We hope that bobcat is gone for good.
Summer we like that jacket a lot. Glad you got to go outside for a little while . You all have a
great day.
Such a becoming jacket, Summer!
Lucky you!
Oh, be careful sweetie. We have bobcats and coyotes where I live so I keep my kitties indoors. I’m glad you got to go outside for a bit.
