Spring is coming!!

[sirrahbed]

This weekend was so nice and *almost* warm here in Ohio. I noticed that my bulbs are pushing their way up - hyacinth, crocus and lots of tulips, too!:D

We opened up all the windows in our enclosed patio and the kitties loved it!! They can go out via the catdoor most any day - but this is the first time we opened up the windows and they seem to think they are outside.

Here they are - all FIVE - on one of their patio cat tree: From top to bottom...Robbie, Emily, Eliot, Lizzie and Dylan.

They were not too clear - I thought the lighting was good but guess not - I love the pictures anyway!!
~Enjoy!

I can't wait for Spring! I love the first few signs of it and being able to open up the house. Your five are sure enjoying it! I love the pictures with all of them on the tree. Everybody has their own perch and look so happy!:D
Cute pictures of your ADORABLE babies!! My kitties are so jealous of that wonderful room!;) :D

I didn't notice that!! Oh Debbie....Me thinks you need to fill that empty spot!!! Want a porch kitty?!;) :D

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Wow, that first pic is unique!! I just showed it to my hubby:) ; guess what he said about your cats.....
His own words:" Aw, such lovely cats!! Tell their mommy that they may come on vacation any time they want!":eek: :)

Wow, isn't he sweet ;) :) :)

[ramanth]

Great photos! It was a very nice weekend in MI too. :)

[catfamily]

I love that picture of ALL 5 of them so much.I must show my husband...maybe he'll build one of those for our babies:D
All your cats are so lovely and happy looking to have such a wonderful home:) :D

[Jayna78]

That's so cute! Hopefully when we buy a house, we'll have a screened in porch, and if not, someday we'll have to get one - we've been thinking about how nice that will be for our cats! I know that on Sunday in St. Louis, it was 72! We opened the windows and our cats were all of course in various windows throughout the house, and eventually all in the favorite one downstairs together. :) They just love the sights and sounds of nature, especially in pretty weather.

That's a great cat tree - did you buy it, or did you make it? We'll need another one or two when we move, depending on the room setup and window situation.

Great pics!

Oh my, I've been looking for an indoor variety like this one for years. What nursery did you purchase it from? Will it bloom all year? :D :D

[auggie]

My cats are jealous too! They have to fight over one window spot.
You and Lori are so lucky to have such beautiful sunrooms.
I love that picture of all your kitties on the cat tree.
That Robbie is growing like wheat.
Dylan has the sweetest face. What a cutie!

Nice try you and CCL:D There really are only five perches. The second from the bottom it one perch , but it has two kitties on it:p Eliot and Lizzie are sharing. (imagine THAT!)

slick: Yup - blooms all year:D

Hubby built this one - no pattern - just thrown together boards and carpet.

Becky: I spoke too soon! We have snow and sleet right as I type:eek: brrrrrr You may have it yourself about now.

YES, Robbie is about the size of Emily now and his head and paws are actually bigger. Lizzie is still petite.

Oh Debbie, I just love that first picture. It is PRICELESS.

I cannot WAIT for spring to come. We are getting hit with another cold snap here in Montreal. Tonight it is going to -30C with the windchill.:(
