2/2 I was riding my bike home from the supermarket, and had only a couple blocks to go,
when I found this pet carrier/cage sitting on the curb – in brand-new shape.
I’m afraid there must be a sad story behind this …
but I’ve been promising Lola (who loves to sit in the kitchen window, watching the back yard)
that I’d get her a cage so I could take her downstairs for a closer look. So I brought it home!
My thanks and best wishes to the kind donor.
1/2 Jungle beauty Lola Falafel perches behind a plant …
one I’ve since put out of reach, because all my best guesses say the shamrock-like greenery is harmful to cats.
Don’t worry – I’ve cut away all the wild growth, and put the pot where she can’t get to it.
It looks like clover, but I don’t think it is … it has little seed pods that explode when you touch them (!) and a few tiny yellow flowers open every now and then.
Any guesses what it is?
Lola had her first trip outside to the back yard today!
She really seemed to enjoy herself – and she was very alert and curious.
We have coyotes in the area, and lots of traffic nearby … there’s no way I’d ever let her out to run around on her own … I have nightmares about it.
But she loves looking out the window, and now that we have this pet cage, I thought I might start taking her outdoors for a little time in the shade.
She handled it well!
