Sophie is our oldest cat and she is about 10 years old now. Her entire life has been spent indoors and she was always so scared of venturing out into the backyard.
A few days ago while my wife and I were sitting on the back porch, Sophie came to the backdoor and waited for us to open it. When we did, she cautiously stepped outside and began sniffing around.
I had tried to bring her outside before. The last time I was holding her and tried to bring her outside, she got so scared and she pissed all over me. So I guess she was finally ready to face her fears and see why Rusty and Keiichi love being out back.
Rusty and the dogs were out back with us as well. Rusty began showing her all over the back and where she can hide when the dogs start getting too rowdy.
Rusty has always been fond of going outside and exploring. He takes his time and sniffs everything. One of his favorite things to do is to chase the bugs around.
It is nice that my backyard is becoming a sanctuary and safe place for all of our cats to explore. Now we just need to convince the old man Sammy that he would like it outside.
