This was the moment Alfie first felt the breeze ruffle his fur. His first experience of the big outdoors. We had decided when we got him, from the Persian rescue last October, to let him outside when the weather improved. He hadn't shown any interest in what was behind the glass of our french doors, so I was quite intrigued to see what he would make of it. I was actually more nervous than anything. What if he ran off? What if someone catnapped him? Because of these and many other "what ifs" I put Posy's pink floral collar on him! I don't think he realised.
He stayed fairly close to home. He only got into one scrape with our neighbour's cat, and ran back looking like a bottle-brush with his fur standing on end!
Now he's not a happy puss when the french door is closed and meows until someone lets him out. So there is a blue collar on my shopping list, and not a moment too soon!
On a different note - you may have noticed that I have changed my banner picture. A very kind blog reader did my original banner but it has always been a goal of mine to learn how to do my own. Tonight I think I've had a break through but am wondering if it looks OK on other people's computers? Every time I've tried in the past it has looked distorted. Would you be so kind as to tell me if it looks OK to you as I'm thinking it might just be my new super-duper laptop making everything look good! Thank you.
