We’ve got a bunch of leaves on the grass and I mentioned to Brian I was thinking about raking them up in a pile and seeing what the cats would do. Imagine what a surprise I got when I went outside to find he’d raked them up for me.
I grabbed the camera and started calling for the kitties to come play. They weren’t interested. Fine. I went into the house and grabbed the catnip. Came outside and sprinkled it throughout the leaves. That worked. I took the nip back inside and put it away, safely, then went back out. There were many cats sniffing the pile of leaves. Just as I was getting ready to start getting serious about taking pictures, one of the neighbors started revving up his car engine and the cats scattered.
But I did get some other shots.
Opie dashed over to the swing and stretched out to sharpen his claws (and no doubt leave a little Opie scent behind)
Oliver shows some interest in the catnip. He did venture in a little farther, but wasn't there long.
Wally keeps his distance from the leaves, the camera and me.
Marco hangs out on the cathouse. I guess you need more kittens to have fun with a pile of leaves.
