Today we show more photos of cat fun outdoors. Scooby was having fun with his harness, so I had to let the others out as well. Zeke does not go outside as he is a “fraidy” cat. He is afraid of everything. He will not be harnessed. We will stay out of the woods.

Today we are going to see some deer and a new visiting neighborhood cat.
It was only last week I was at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park. Now, when I look out the window into my backyard, what do I see? Looks like they followed me home!

I returned to NW Trek Wildlife Park after posting photos only two weeks ago today. It is a very nice place to visit. It was a bit cold so I was glad I took my jacket. I also took a small camera to get better photographs, but the camera is not the problem it seems! I decided to post things that I did not post two weeks ago. By the way, the guy in the blue jacket is me.
I brought my small camera so I could get better photos than with my phone. See the quality improve!
A better camera is not always the solution! How many photos like this have you got?

This post is about squeaky cat postcards.
The squeaky cat postcards below were all given to me as a gift. I had never seen them before. Squeaky postcards of all kinds were made in the 1950’s and early 1960’s. Cats were not the only subject. Two pieces of paper were glued together with the squeaker placed inbetween the layers. All the cards have a bulge in the middle. The squeaker is the same sound regardless of the photographs displayed. I did no photo-editing at all on the photographs. None of mine were ever mailed so I have no definitive date on any of them. Someone must have just been saving the cards. They are devoid of publisher except for #2 which was made in France. All of the others were made in Japan. I saw many for sale on the internet with asking prices varying from $1 each to double digits–good luck with that double digit asking price!
I made a short video so you could hear the “squeak” and watch Marigold who was sleeping being disturbed by the noise.
Photographs of the individual postcards follow:

As usual Marigold is watching over Scooby as he rests in his favorite blanket.
Marigold and Scooby
Since this post is only one cat photo long, I decided to add something else. Northwest Trek is a wildlife park located not very far from where I live. Wildlife photos follow:

I found an old cat harness for use in walking cats outdoors. I decided to try it on Scooby. It was a bit tight, but it worked. Oddly, Scooby was very still and purring when it was being put on. He did not fight at all. This made me very suspicious that he may have been in harness before. Going outside my suspicions were confirmed. He was very good about walking about in his new harness. He enjoyed himself immensely outdoors. I bought a larger harness. It is for a small dog and pink with a dog paw on front. It is OK because Scooby thinks he is a dog who solves mysteries. He goes out on his walk on the wild side in the back yard every sunny morning now. Some photos follow:
