Lazy Daisy Felines

Nutmeg loves to go for walks. She's not terribly keen on having her harness put on, but once I open the door, she forgets all about it. She could walk for hours, if I let her. She doesn't like the heat, so we haven't walked much over the summer, but it is finally starting to get cooler. I took this quick video last week of her dragging me around the yard: Here's a video of Nutmeg walking in the snow for the first time last winter:

Nutmeg Destroys My Halloween Costume

I bought some lovely deer antlers from Walmart for my Halloween costume. I saw another pair that had flowers, but they were made for a small child, so I thought I might DIY these in a similar way. I put the bag down next to my office to remind myself to carry them into the craft table. The antlers cost me about $7 to make. I forgot Nutmeg likes to investigate all items in any container within her reach. She seemed to favor the fuzzy ears and tail. Maybe I'll go buy Nutmeg her own pair. Or maybe a big stuffed dog toy! Here's the finished antlers!

Maggie the Lion

Maggie has loved to wear clothes since she was a kitten. I've never had another cat who got clothes like she did. When I put them on her, she goes to the door, because people put on clothes to go outside. She does associate clothing with wearing her harness to go for walks, but she doesn't just walk around. She looks for a neighbor so she can show off her outfit. She also loves Halloween. I used to put her in a costume and a harness and let her help me answer the door to trick-or-treaters. She absolutely adores children, and the noisier and more excited they were, the more she loved them. Maggie is 18 now, so I don't put costumes on her often anymore. This lion hat was a little big, but she liked wearing it. The surprise was her little sister's reaction! Maggie's favorite red cape Maggie the Sailor Sherlock Maggie
