There is something satisfying to me seeing a cat looking out a window at something, or at nothing. It suggests an interest in things, though, I suppose, it might also be simple ennui. But much of the time, when I see the beasts peering out a window, they are observing things, people walking by, leaves blown by the wind, a dog in a window across the street. I think it means involvement, engagement in one’s surroundings. It’s why I try to encourage my cats to look and see. Brazil and Valkyrie, shown here, are the most observant of my gang, while Indigo is the least. Sable, of course, is in a class of her own, still having much to learn about the inside, never mind seeing what’s outside.
Eventually, I hope, I will see all of them at different times at the windows, looking, seeing and enjoying.
Cat TV!
ReplyDeleteIt just started snowing here, and my cats are fascinated. They're trying to figure out what that "white stuff" is. (Either that or they're applying for jobs as TV weather forecasters.)
ReplyDeleteFun to be a watcher of watchers. Precious watches for birds now that we have 100 at the feeders. Mostly she still wants the chipmunk and he's fast asleep.
ReplyDeleteHaving access to a good window is great for any kitty's mental health, and humans' too! Do you have a bird feeder out there? They'd really have interesting kitty TV to watch then!
ReplyDeleteNot out front; there is space just for the driveway.
DeleteI always creep over to see what they
Deleteare looking at. Inquiring minds...
Windows are so important for all the kitties here too!
ReplyDeleteA nice sight, for sure. A lovely picture, too.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, well, and watching the goings on outside.

A view from a window is important to keep cats interested. They can also keep an eye on the neighbours for you!
ReplyDeleteFrom your photos, I've noticed that your new digs have some great outdoor views for the cats. They're obviously enjoying them!
