Mink on cat tree in sun

I got these photos the other evening as the last of the day's light was fading.  That's wobbly Mink catching the final rays in the cats' outdoor enclosure.  Like all the animals here, the cats are relishing the long days and warm temperatures.  As soon as we open the window to the enclosure in the morning, most of them go bolting — or, in Mink's case, wobbling — outside.

After I took the photo of Mink, I looked over and saw a black leg and tail sticking out of the cat tree next to him:

Lulu in cat tree

That's one-eyed Lulu in there, looking a bit cramped, I'd say!  As to why she'd want to stuff herself into a too-small kitty condo on a gorgeous spring evening … well, who knows?

    Horses then cats – that’s 2 out of 3. Now if we can have a goat story you’ll have hit a home run! Horse and cat lovers thank you. Now the Margaret fan club is waiting expectantly. 🙂

    What a treat, beautiful Mink and Lulu in all-too-rare photos! Lulu just adds to her mystique by being reluctant to show us her lovely self. It’s good to see the fur folks out enjoying the sunshine. Thanks, Steve.

    Wow, Mink is the right name. The fur shines beautifully in the sunshine. Mink looks so content. Ah, Steve, are you really trying to figure out what or why a cat does what it does? I have also heard it’s written in the cat rule book..the smaller the space the better it is to squeeze into! “I Will Fit” rule!

    Mink has the best coat of fur…gorgeous! I agree with Mink, the last rays of the day are awesome.
    Interesting viewpoint from Lulu.
    Is it a statement or just a preference? Guess we won’t know. ; )
