In Search of Sunshine

DSC_4446

A few days ago on a sunny afternoon, we took the big cats out on the back deck so they could bask. It was warm and perfect and so welcome after a long stretch of rain.

The window from kitten room is visible from the deck, and while I watched Charlene and Wylla squinting at the sky and taking in this glorious day,  I spied two tiny black kittens spying on us.

Now, getting up that high, onto the desk, then into the window isn't an easy task for kittens of their size.  I'm don't know what their exact route was, but I'm sure it required some calculating, a lot of determination, and many attempts to make it up there.

I imagine Mose found his way up there first then offered a helping paw to his little brother.  Mose seems to have a lot of drive.

They were so happy up there -- it must have felt so good to be a warm, fuzzy black kitten in all that lovely sunshine.

Craig stayed outside with the big cats on the deck, and I stayed in and supervised the little ones. Eventually, I put their bed on on corner my desk, and they napped there until the last beams disappeared.

So happy they were!

  3. Such cute and determined little monkeys! I bet their black fur really absorbs the heat from the sun.

    I'm already looking forward to the introductions of Mose and Sidney to Bean and Wylla! It seems like quarantine should be up soon.

  8. If I were a little kitten, I would have done the same thing in such a beautiful place! When is the quarantine up? :-). The girls are going to love them to pieces!
