Bundling Up for Some Outside Time

January 2, 2021 By: Summer Samba20 Comments

Summer bundles up for some outside time.

It’s a little chilly this week, but my human still wanted me to have some outside time. So she put on my leash and bundled me up. This time, I wore my pretty pink zip-up sweater coat.

I will admit, cold to my human and me means around 60. But we live in southern California, so that is plenty chilly here. If it were any colder than that, I’d have my parka on.

I insisted on sitting on my concrete table for a while, even though my human thought it must have been cold on my paws. I didn’t stay for very long, and decided I’d rather go wander.

I have to say, 2021 doesn’t smell any different than 2020. And my human still grabs a mask (or two) from her stack on the table every time she goes out. I keep waiting for some big change for the better. Maybe that will happen when most humans get vaccinated. Then maybe I can go back to doing therapy cat work.

For now, I’ll just hang out and make happy paws in the grass.

I finished up by sitting on the steps and watching everything going on outside the house. My human, as always, was glued to her phone. I think my view was more interesting.

    I love your sweater coat, Summer, and I think your view is probably more exciting than what your mom is looking at on her phone!

    I laughed at the comment about the 60s being cold. My pawrents originally lived in San Diego so they get that. My meowmy talked with her dad out in San Diego the other day and he said that it was “freezing” because it was in the 50s. My meowmy said that where we live now, 50s is practically (but not quite!) shorts weather!

    I hope you can get back to therapy work soon, Summer.

    We love your sweater coat, Summer. It sure does look warm. We kind of wish it would get up to 60 here. Heck, we’d settle for 40. Haha.

    Hi, from Idaho. Your jacket is very nice and our kitty cats Ziggy and Abner usual goes out the front door and walks around to slider, and want back end.
    Well if you have time stop in for cup of coffee.

    HAH! 60 degrees would be wonderful around here. I’m glad TW doesn’t have one of those phones but she’s always staring at the computer.

    I’m glad you have that sweater to keep the chills off your tummy and backside. Mom says matching leg warmers would look adorable on you. She is crossing her fingers that she’ll get to go to watch a cat show live in 2021. That’s something she really missed doing in 2020.

    That would be cold for us in Adelaide. I like your cosy pink jumper. Being a Russian cat, I grow a very dense and fine undercoat for winter, so that is like a jumper for me. It is our hotter time of year now, but our climate is rather like yours.

    You’re so cozy and chic!
    We always want to go out, even in winter – and have tried – but we quickly say NOPE and run right back into the apartment!! MOL!!
    In Fargo ND so far we didn’t get snow until right before the holidays. Done Winters we can get -25F or more below zero!! That’s not even factoring in wind chill! Brrrrrrrr!!
    Our mom got her 1st vaccination recently because she works in a clinic – the 2nd in a couple weeks. She just had a sore are for a day and was really tired for a couple days-naps took care of that! Stay safe and healthy girls!! XOXO

    That is a beautiful sweater! And it was great to see you outside…we would be so very happy if it was 60 here, right now it is 42, which is above freezing and we all have been bouncing around in the snow (it is melting). And what is it with humans and telephones!

    Your paws would be really cold here, as we had almost 1/2 inch of ice on everything, followed by over an inch of snow. Brrr! Its just at the freezing point, so by our standards its not too cold, MOL!

    That is a pretty pink sweater!

    We hope that soon you’ll be able to go back to your most needed and appreciated therapy work, Summer.

    You would want you sweater and parka here! It isn’t getting above 28F by day and about 18F at night. I know others have it colder, but we shouldn’t be that cold here, normal would be nearer 40!

    Very cute outfit. You would freeze your tiny bottom in Massachusetts. No, I have never seen a cat make muffins in the grass. 🙂

    You look very elegant in your sweater, Summer! It would definitely not be warm enough for you here today. It is sunny, but bitterly cold. In fact everything was white an crunchy this morning as we had had a hard frost overnight.On the plus side, there are some lovely sunpuddles for us indoor kitties to enjoy!

    Purrs,

    It’s nice you are needing to use some of your
    warmer clothes. But, even though 60 isn’t really cold,
    it’s cold for you. I bet that pink coat felt good.
