My Ninja Cat

Before we moved here our cat, Paris, was an indoor cat. She had access to a balcony but she could never reach the ground. At our new home there are birds, bugs and butterflies to chase not to mention all the amazing new smells to experience. There are coyotes where we are now though and we've been keeping her on a leash outside to make sure she doesn't go too far. I should say that we've been trying to keep her on a leash because since she's come here she's turned into a ninga cat and has escaped at least once a day. There are fences and trees to dash up, birds to pounce on and roofs to saunter along while she listens to me curse at her. Paris LOVES it when she escapes and we chase her around the house. Once inside again the excitement continues and she plays ninja cat on the stairs and has taken to pouncing on the kids as they pass by. When her eyes get big and round the kids scream, "Mom!".

Have you ever had this happen to you? Have you ever had your cat's instincts suddenly released when they'd discovered the outdoors?
 This is where you hear the theme from Mission Impossible playing.


 For fun I thought I would gather some ninja cat images. Funny how you never see ninja dogs.

The first two weeks in our new home

Well we finally made it into our new home. Moving day was an actual disaster with our scheduled mover cancelling the day before. We had to scramble and find someone last minute and be willing to pay whatever it cost to get our stuff out of our apartment. What a stressful weekend!

I'ts been two week's now and while we still have plenty of boxes still unpacked, we have already been to Ikea to customize our new space. The list of to-do's is growing but we are very lucky that we don't have any major renos or repairs to do.

My studio is still not set up but I hope to get that organized this week and then I hope to get some artwork done.


The picture is of our cat Paris who has discovered the joys of being outside for the first time. She loves it but I'm afraid to let her out on her own because there have been many cats snagged by coyotes here. We put a leash on her and walk her around which she's okay with because it means she gets to go outside. This also means that she whines a lot to be taken out.

Come back soon when I will have pics of the new place. : )
