Colder...

Summer is now well and truly gone, last night the temperature dipped below zero for the first time this fall. This morning Bruce was sitting by the front door, eagerly waiting to get out. As a lark, I scooped him up and took him outside. Aby that he is, he was both shocked by the cold (shivering like mad) and eager to absorb all the different sights and sounds (tail twitching like there's no tomorrow). Two minutes was all he got, but enough to get a "kitty madness" - to run around the house like there was a fire under his tail. 
I usually lay my daughter's outerwear on the floor, so it is easier to put on. And of course we have a little furry helper (Alex), who usually plants himself smack-dab in the middle of them. Usually he also resists her trying to get her clothes and she has to drag both her jacket and the cat to get clothed. Alex is also very fond of her shoelaces, so it's not necessarily easy for her to get dressed in the mornings.
Lately we have been getting feathered little visitors outside our kitchen window, and you can just imagine what our kitties have been doing... Here is a picture of our furry brothers, stalking birds together.
