Feline Update 02 - Garden Hijinx

Well, our new girls, Binx and Silver are settling in well. It seems like they've been with us forever, even though it's only been since 29th May. They've been going outside for a few weeks, now, and they loved this week's sunshine. They're not sit-in-the-sun cats, they're sensible girls and keep in the shade mostly, but the warmth has seen them spending most of the days outside. I managed to get some lovely pictures of them enjoying the day yesterday.

Binx has developed the habit of going outside to the bird-table and claiming bits of bread that have fallen off it, she then plays with them, tossing them up and chasing them around, before finally proudly carrying them into the house and dropping them at one of her pet humans' feet. This picture is her in the midst of a lazy pounce :).

Except when she's chasing her daughter madly round the garden at sunset, Silver is a much more laid back individual than Binx. She likes to lie in the warm day and take it easy. She was so relaxed she was rolling on her back and showing her belly. I didn't quite catch that movement, but this is of her just afterwards, and I think she looks absolutely adorable.

All in all, they're both doing very well. We registered them with our vet last week, which led to some upset when we took them to do the deed (it was the first time they'd been in their cat box and out of the house since we brought them in), but the vet was very happy with them, said they were the in wonderful condition. All was well again when we got them back home as well, especially since it meant they got an extra pouch of food ;P.

We really fell on our feet with these two cats, they are wonderfully natured. Thanks again Happy Endings Rescue.
