Yesterday, I took my kitties outdoors for the first time in their 4 1/2 week old lives. They'd been living in my large basement so far, but it was such a nice warm and sunny day, that I thought I'd introduce them to the sunlight a bit.

Their reaction was surprising. Instead of venturing out and exploring that new world, they hid in their box or clung to me, complaining and screaming, while their mom crouched nearby and looked on with cool scepticism. After a few minutes, I yielded to their collective requests and took them back to their lair, where they resumed playing as if nothing had happened at all...

Charlie.

Alice - trying to stick her tiny head out of the even smaller hole in the banana box.
