Cats and garden

The kittens are loving going out in the garden.  They tear-arse around, chasing ach other, chasing the chickens, chasing flies, sitting under bushes.....   

We currently have the catflaps sent to "indoor cats" for them, which means the flaps will let them in, but won't let them out.  This means that they can only go out when we open the door for them to do so,  and we've been doing that so we know what they are up to.

With the good weather, and one or other of us doing somethign in the kitchen or outside, we're able to leave the back door open for parts of the day,  so the kittens are in and out and in and out and in and out.

They are exhausted by the evening, and spend it sparko on one of the many (many) cat beds in the sitting room.    They sleepily come upstairs to bed when we go,  and then wake up in the middle of the night for more running around stuff.

We've had a couple of incidences where Lewis appears to have got himself into a compromising position.   Shelby, who is spayed,  has no idea what he's up to.  I'm not entirely sure he does, yet.   As soon as our Vet reopens routine ops,  he'll be going in.

The weather is just amazing.   In normal times I'd be spring cleaning now,  and I really want to re-do the floor in our sitting room.   I have all the stuff in the loft to strip it and re-do it,  but it requires the room emptying completely, and my enthusiasm hasn't quite reached that point yet.
