    Wow, what beautiful pictures of Filou!! He does look a little uncertain of what to do, but I'm sure he'll be standing by the door in the near future, wanting to explore more - and roll in the grass.

    A catproof garden. LOL! Great idea if it works ... hopefully no cats will get electrocuted!

    Outside = fleas

    Such great photos. Filou looks like a happy boy, for sure.

    Barb, I have just started taking Lucy out on a leash. She loves it and is very good. The only drawback is fleas. I did find one flea on her the other day, while combing her with a flea comb. I had stopped at the vet's the day before for flea treatment for all four cats! It is very expensive! Yikes. Between the flea treatment for four and Science Diet ZD for four - we're talking hundreds of dollars. The flea treatment I found on line 12 for $90...and the food is now $42.50 for a ten pound bag! Can you believe it.

    Do you get fleas where you live? Once the kitties hit the ground, around here, they are flea magnets! I have been combing Lucy and the others (right) nearly every day, looking for a flea. The treatment Frontline Plus kills all stages of fleas and ticks.

    It does seem like torture to keep a kitty in all the time. Mine have such a nice porch and so many windows. Lucy is the only one calm enough to put the harness on........she now sits by the door, screaming to go out. I have created a monster! That's what happens when you start something for them....can you imagine four cats crying by the door?

    My nephew made his garden cat-proof too. His cats have to wear a collar though, like Sonia says!

    Filou is such a gorgeous cat, Barbara!!

    These pictures of Filou are stunning! The natural light shows off his colouring amazingly well, and against the bright green of the grass ... definitely calendar material.

    Now you can really show everyone what a cougar you are, Filou!

    Too funny that he didn't want to step on the grass, but I guess that's only natural since he's never seen grass before.

    Yes, I think you need a catproof garden too, Barbara.

    That will be the next project for the Found Cat Hotel to have a part of the Lawn enclosed so they can go out.
    But I guess it will have to be enclosed so nosy people cant count.
    Tigris looks as though he really enjoyed his outdoor visit.

    Filou is an Abyssinian and he feels very flattered by being named a cougar. He's tiny (7,5 lb) but he has an adventurous heart
