Miss Oswin goes exploring

Miaow

Well, what can I say. Perhaps this move wasn't so bad after all! First I have a great big house to live in, with windows everywhere so I can see out. Second I have an Oma with a lot of cat toys in her room that I will one day play with. And third that very same Oma wanted to have some fresh air in the house today.

Which meant opening the garden door! Mara had called me down first of all, so I could see what was happening. And then she let me go out! It was lovely. The sun was shining, there were birds singing and the smells... So many smells...

This gate is not going to stop me!

I explored a bit in the garden and then I crawled underneath the garden gate and found a whole wide world. There was a car that smelt funny. Then another one. There were plants everywhere. I found the opening to the yard at the front door, but didn't stay there long.

I think it drove to the supermarket today

I went back to the garden and found the door again. Mara was very pleased with me because she says it's very important for me to know where I live. After all I am a Norwegian cat who does not speak the same language as the other cats in the neighbourhood. And if I get lost*, I might not understand them. 

After a while Mara stopped following me around with her big camera and went inside. I remembered the last time I was outside and decided to check whether it was the right house and went in as well. It was (pfew) and I went out again. 

I think it smells like the black and white cat that I always see

I went in and out a couple of times, just to make sure and in the end I stayed in It's hard work this exploring you know! Oma then closed the door, because it is still winter you know. When Opa came down, he wanted to see for himself how I reacted and he opened the door again. He was also very pleased with me.

Real grass!

I hope they will open the door again soon, but Mara says the temperatures will go down and they are expecting rain as well. I can tell you know: I do not like getting wet!
