I wuz in a sekrit plais!!
tudai ai finded a nu sekrit plais!
ai finded a sekrit plais in mai hows dat i neber bin befurr! it wuz a bigbig almos emtie rum wif a lotta lite inna it fum winndurs alla da wai arroun anna ai cud cee da big OUT effrieware. der was gnu sounds anna ai kud smelz mani nu fings tu it wuz kind uf skari tu mee, so aftur a liddle wile uf xplorin, ai hided inna dark plais ai finded. Human note: Often, when I go get the mail, Lorelei looks out the front door into the front porch. But, the door to the porch is in the living room, and only this week did Lorelei come into the living room as far as my computer chair. Today is was fairly warm out, almost 60 degrees, and not windy. The warmest day so far this year! I couldn't coax Lorelei to come through the open door, which is only a little ways past my computer chair, so when she came for scritches, and was in my lap, and purring and relaxed, I carried her out onto the front porch, it's just about two steps from my computer chair. Kenzie absolutely adored my front porch, spending as much time out there as possible, weather permitting. There is a big, very, very old easy chair out there, and a small table; Kenzie used to sleep under the table, where it isn't so bright. There are windows with both glass and screens on three sides. I stayed out on the porch with Lorelei, where she explored, slowly, with her eyes looking just HUGE. Most of the time her tail was held up, and not moving much, so I know she wasn't too scared. She sniffed around the opening at the bottom of the outside door for several minutes. Finally she found that she could go under the easy chair, where I put a piece of cloth to cover it, and the cloth hangs to the floor. The chair is VERY old, and ugly. It was left on the porch when I bought the house in 1979, and looks like the big old chairs in my Grandmother's house, with a big floral pattern, which I immediately had to cover. But, it's fairly comfortable to sit in and read the paper Once Lorelei was 'hiding' under the chair, I figured she had had enough for one day, to I opened the door to the house, and Lorelei went back inside. Her pretty blue eyes REALLY stand out in the daylight, and I noticed that her fur looks more tan than gray, in the natural light on the porch. Indoors, under artificial light, her fur looks more gray in the back half, and just somewhat tan in the front, She's not a brown tabby, but she really not gray, as I thought. I think 'tan tabby' is probably the most accurate. It's funny that I thought she was gray all this time, but I got her in November, and she stayed in the basement for a week. And, at least to me, she looks like a gray tabby in her pictures, too. There's isn't much natural light in my house: it was built in 1917, and there aren't very many windows, and they are kind of small. I live in the city, and there is another house on one side only five or six feet away, and it's much taller than my house, two stories, so much less light comes in that side, as well. I hope that Lorelei comes to like my front porch, like Kenzie did. I like to sit out there and read the newspaper, or my books, because the light is so much better, and I can leave two of the windows open for fresh air. The windows, like everything else, are old, but they have screens, so there's no mosquitos, and more importantly: Lorelei can't escape. All around the porch, at the bottom of the windows is a small ledge where Kenzie loved to sit and look out the windows. If there was something that interested her, she would go from window to window, or just sit on the little ledge. I'm afraid that Lorelei may be a little to big to comfortably sit on the ledge. If so, I will build some platforms for her, right at the level of the little ledge. One of my neighbors was having some work done on his house this week and I scavenged a nice piece of heavy particle board, and a long piece of 2" by 2" wood to use as bracing for the platforms...Lorelei being a fairly fluffy cat, after all I love getting building materials for my projects for free; I am hoping that I won't have to go out and buy anything, to build two nice platforms for Lorelei. |

Sounds good so far Don't stress over anything..just enjoy each other. Kyla I think short visits to the front porch are in order for Lorelei, for awhile. Perhaps I give her her gooshy food out there, so she will come to associate the front porch with good things I hope we have a nice sunny warm day soon. I have yet to meet a cat that doesn't like to lay in the warm sunshine. Unfortunately, where her cat tree is located gets very little sun, because the front porch blocks most of the sun from that window. Of course, when it gets HOT, maybe that's not so bad: Lorelei will likely never be forced off of her cat tree, because the sun is too hot. (sniff) I can still see Kenzie lying in a tiny patch of sunlight on the front porch, on one of the last few 'good days' she had, before she went to the Bridge. I sure wish I had thought to take a picture of her in the little patch of sunshine. (sniff) |
