We had a really nice day about a week ago and I decided to sit on the front porch and enjoy the beautiful day. It was also a good time to spend some quality time with the outside cats. The outside cats are TNR cats which stands for Trap, Neuter, Release. It is a program that Baltimore County offers to help control the feral cat population. I don't even consider my three outside cats feral but think of them as part of the family. They are loved and cared for as much as any of our inside pets ... they just live outside. When you sign up for the program then it is a stipulation that the cats will be outside cats and you become their caretaker. That could change in certain situations though like when they become older and or have trouble getting around.
So, I was sitting on the front porch and, naturally, all three cats show up for some pets. They don't allow everyone to pet them though and definitely don't try to pick them up.
If Sylvester or Baby come up to me or anyone in my family for pets then Sad Cat is right behind them to sneak in and steal those pets from them.
Usually, Sylvester and Baby will give way to him and wander off to another spot on the porch. Sylvester and Baby are sisters and it is adorable to watch them walking side by side and sometimes with their tails intertwined. But on this occasion, baby decided to jump up on a little table that we have on the porch and just hang out with me. Baby is a mostly black cat but in these photos you may be able to see that she does have some orange highlights as well.
All three cats are usually by my side whenever I go outside and will follow me around the yard. It does make it a little more difficult if I want to walk around the neighborhood and if I do then I will wait until they are off playing in the yard away from sight so they don't follow me.
After about ten minutes Baby decided she was done hangin' with me and jumped down to get some water. The birds were singing happily in the trees and then she decided to check that out. Sylvester decided to join her on that venture and Sad Cat decided that he would rather continue getting pets than check out the noisy birds ...lol. I did take some photos of him while the girls wandered off but those photos will be for another time. This post is just about hangin, with Baby on a beautiful day on the porch! 💖
Take care and have a Happy Caturday!! meow 😸
