Zeke on “Watch”

Zeke in catio snow — It is cold out here but I must keep watch!

Zeke spends most of his day (or night if he is lucky!) outside in the catio. Being a Maine Coon, the cold weather does not bother him. He has lots of long fur and a big furry tail. He blends in nicely with the snow and gravel in the catio today. He knows more about what goes on out in the back than anyone. Opie spends much time however in a second story window surveying the same scene from up above. What are they watching? It is my small stand of pine woods which I show below. Many birds and animals visit. Zeke I am sure knows them all. The vigil continues. . . .

Two sentries are good. Does Zeke ever want to come in?

  He can come inside whenever he wants . . . It is his choice how cold to get!

  He does enjoy the fresh air regardless of the weather, but if it too much below freezing, I let no one go out there!

Zeke looks so tiny down there. I scrolled down a bit and saw Scooby in his winter gear again. That photo is perfect for a calendar.

I always love to see and think about your catio, it¹s such a great place. No wonder that Zeke loves to stay there.

Greetings to you all

  Yes, he is coloured like gravel with snow upon it! He likes to hide in that corner rather than up on a shelf. Thanks for your comment today! 😺

  Zeke spends as much time as possible out in the catio. If the temperature gets too low, I don’t let anyone out there. Might as well jump into the chest freezer I always say then. You won’t like it out there! xxx❤️️❤️️❤️️

  Actually he is a scardy-cat or is it scairdy? Or scaredy cat! 🐱 He normally just comes inside on his own where it is safe.

    It happens all the time. 🙂
    
    One woman’s spell checker changed her husband’s name (Ed) to ex. So she said that her husband, Ex, told her….
    
    Spell check is helpful in some ways, not so much in others.
