More or less s storm outside and it will be worse during the night so we haven’t had any walk today, too dangerous to walk amongst trees in these winds. The steady wind isn’t that bad but the gusts are, we’ve spent a lot of time in the garden instead, not the same but better than nothing.
Alma is close to ending being in heat and Malcolm’s injection is close to sick in to a 100% so tonight Malkolm and I won’t be leashed together so all of You cross Your fingers and hold Your thumbs for good luck and that my guess is right 🙂 🙂 🙂
I’ll also go the the grocery store for the first time in a long time tomorrow and I’ll bring the dogs, Alma in the back seat so she has plenty of space to be tangled into the safety belts 🙂 🙂 🙂 and Malkolm beside me in the passenger seat. The winds will still be strong so it’ll be fun to drive to the top of the mountain with no shelter from the forest 🙂 No risk of tipping over in the gusts but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a bumpy ride 🙂 🙂 🙂
It is soon time to bring out the monster kitten to the garden, I’ll need to make some kind of harness because I don’t want her to walk away by her own already now. She’s too small to meet any of the bigger cats in the area on her own yet. It is so much easier in summer when the doors are open all day and she can walk in and out as she pleases and most likely won’t walk away too far, I can say that all she wants right now is to wander the world by her self and she’s really not prepared for that.
It is time for that last cup of tea and then watch some tv.
Have a great day!
The Cottage by the crane lake. 
At least now that Sarah has been spayed, she won’t want to go out and look for a boyfriend, so with any luck she’ll stay in the garden or close by.
I don’t let any of mine go out ever, and they don’t seem to miss it. They don’t even head to the front door if I leave it open. I would be too worried about them if they roamed the neighborhood, not to mention picking up ticks and fleas to bring inside, and bringing home half-eaten “presents” I’m not prepared to deal with.
What I do for them is, every morning after breakfast, I open one window, no matter what it’s doing outside. It has a screen, so Roc, Tony and Tater take turns sitting on the windowsill to check out the conditions. Once they lose interest, I close the window and they’re content for the day.

Hi cats working!
She will most likely have to fight for the garden because I haven’t had cats here for a couple of years but the rest of the are will most likely be a shared one, has always been but it looks like the cats go out at different times so they don’t have to see each other 🙂
Lots of rodents, now even rats in our neighbourhood so the more cats we have outside the better I think. I don’t have anything against indoor cats though.

I’ve been in my house nearly 38 years and have always had multiple cats. No rodent has ever dared come inside, although I have had at different times a mouse or chipmunk in the crawlspace underneath and in my outside storage room (there was a gap in the cinder block between the 2 spaces they would use to go back and forth, which is now sealed up).
I think Sarah will grow up to be a very good huntress.

My neighbours just caught a rat in their home and they have two cats so any more help outside is perfect 🙂 I hope she’s not a bird catcher though and skip the rodents.

No spring weather here. It was supposed to be in the high 50’s F but the wind came up and it was not comfortable. Today, the 5th, is dreary and damp and there is wind but the wind has the smell of warmth in it. It’s not warm but there’s hope. The snow that has been on the ground since January is mostly gone now so everything is dead brown and muddy. It’s kind of depressing. I call it Winter Filth. All the grotty stuff that was buried by snow is revealed. I want to go rake it all away but it’s probably still partly frozen to the ground.
The kittens first foray into the big world is always amusing but tense. Fortunately I had their mother and father monitoring them. She was 6 pounds and fierce. He was 25 pounds and boss cat of the neighborhood. Nothing bothered those kittens.
You might want to leash Malkolm one more night. Just to be be on the safe side.

Hi Caryn!
It’ll get warmer and warmer until Sunday and then it’ll drop dramatically for the next week. Freezing at nights but for this time of year reasonable warm during days but we’ll all know if they get it right if it happens 🙂 🙂 🙂
really windy last night and a bit less today, so we’ve been on walks and a lot in the garden. I have been raking in my garden though 🙂 🙂
It had been better if I had found her in spring so that she would have had all summer to learn about life outside, now she’s over six months old and a bit behind all her feral siblings. Perhaps they can smell that she’s their sister and take it easy on her? 🙂
It worked well without a leash, every time I woke up he slept beside my head 🙂

The forest is really greening up, Christer, and I now you are hoping that the snow is done. Here is seems the same, but we still have piles of snow that have stayed because of the very cold weather that followed. It has warmed up for a few days, then back to cold and freezing, so the mess just re-freezes again and it’s pretty dirty too, so not very attractive.
Hope the trip to the grocery store goes well and it’s good that you are feeling well enough to do it and with both dogs along for the ride. Hope you will not have to sleep with Malkolm leashed to you because they just sounded so uncomfortable.

Hi Beatrice!
It is unusually warm here but temperatures will drop drastically on Monday, still “warm” during days but freezing at nights.
The trip went well and I left the dogs in the dog yard, it looks like Malcolm’s injection has kicked in now. So Malkolm and I are not leashed together any longer. Have to say though that it wasn’t bad at all to be leashed with Malkolm, he stayed where he was supposed to and I don’t move that much while sleeping either 🙂
