Front Garden Time

June 2, 2018 By: Summer Samba42 Comments

somali cat having some garden time

My human and I went out front so I could try on some clothes for my upcoming trip (more on that in a couple of days). But I also took a break to enjoy the front garden. I may look like I’m walking in this photo, but I’m not. I’m actually standing there, making happy paws! That’s how much I was enjoying my garden time.

I don’t get out front anywhere near enough. I used to be a little bit scared of the street noises, but I’m not anymore. My human just noticed that the birdbath behind me (which has been here since before she moved in) is broken. That makes her sad, even though she never used it.

It kind of bums me out too, because even though I like to watch the birds out here, they are kind of far away. It would be nice if they had a reason to come down here.

My human also took some portraits of me while we were out there.

Here is another photo with my head at a slightly different angle.

And… oh, more birdies! I really do wish that birdbath was working.

I hope you enjoyed my garden time almost as much as I did!

    All you need is for a butterfly to land on the tip of your nose in the last photo! 🙂

    Beautiful pictures of sweet *you*!

    Sorry your birdbath is broken, maybe it can be somehow repaired? Or take the bowl off and replace it with a clay, (Terracotta, availabe in garden centers) bowl, such like those you would put under a pot, only a very big one.

    Those pictures captured the scenery around you purrfectly. They are beautiful pictures. Purrfect colors. The first one is super cool, it does look like your walking. So sorry the bird bath was broken. Mom loves her bird bath. Birds are so much fun to watch. Happy Caturday! Purrs

    It looks like you’re really enjoying the outdoors! It’s a bummer your bird bath is broken, but it sounds like you’ve got a pretty good view of the birds anyhow.

    Gotta love the birdies! We’re thinking of getting one of those bird feeders that suction cup to the outside of a window. wonder who it will drive nuts first, the cats or the humans who have to watch the cats bounce off the windows?
