This is the kitty who is so notoriously difficult to photograph when he’s out in the garden, making a beeline for the back door to get in out of the cold. He’s practically walking on tiptoe here, none too experienced with the white stuff, which is a rarity around here. His rigid stance was giving him a cute little waddle that I wish I could translate into a photograph for you.
(He has always been a plump cat, but the vet told me two weeks ago that after a half-pound weight loss this year, he now qualifies as “fair” and not “obese.” That half-pound came from being able to run around and play outside, so it’s all thanks to F.’s intervention.)
I’ll be out of town for the rest of this weekend, giving you plenty of time to tiptoe on over to the new blog and check it out. Don’t worry, Victory Garden Redux is not going to disappear all at once. It will be a gradual move because really, big, sudden change is not my thing.
Hopefully we will not all feel as Booty did after his adventure in the snow, coming inside with much fastidious shaking of his little paws, as if to say, “No, thank you!”

Booty has the intense look of a kitty on a mission. He also looks sooo much like my Missy. I’m glad he’s getting back to a good fit weight.
Have a delightful weekend, Meredith!

Talon, I bet Missy is a sweety, then.
(Booty is sweet, but terribly spoiled, I’m afraid. 
I had a great weekend, and hope you did, too!
I can just see Booty with shaking his paws. I love cats for their mysterious ways.

They are so funny sometimes. I hope your little kitty is doing well.
What a great photo Meredith, it really captures one very determined looking cat!
I’d hate to think what Possum would make of snow. I think if anyone tried to suggest she go out in it they would be met with a very direct ‘You want me to do what?’ look!
LOL, Heidi. It’s not an experience he relished, I’m afraid — but luckily, it only comes once, maximum twice, per year here.
