Caturday: Proud Kitteh

He is so proud that he has learned to jump. He has practiced and practiced. Something most cats could just do, he’s had to work hard to perfect.

The cats spend time outside while I do chores on these chilly mornings. Then we all go inside for breakfast.

I keep an eye on him, I’m always worried about his spine. But I know he spends his nights working out his routines, LOL

To those who are new to Reggie’s world, he was born with Manx syndrome, unable to walk. His amazing foster mom got him up and mobile before he came to live with us. He hops like a bunny and his back legs work in unison. Learning to jump – he’s done it in increments over the last year and a half – takes a lot of skill and practice from him. And he is super proud of himself! As he should be.

Here’s some video of his gait:

The last few days have been super busy, so to make up for missing Furry Friday, here’s some bonus content.

Nora injured her wing yesterday, nothing serious, but I suspected it was sore. So, last night she got some family time before heading to her coop (new!) for the night.

For whatever reason, she makes a nest of all the stuffed animals. I put a few towels down to protect them, but luckily, all she left us were a few feathers.

Surprise Sunday Poppy

A gift from a friend – just a tiny little sprout in a paper cup. I transplanted, unsure if it would survive or how beautiful it was going to be. This morning, it appeared, delicate and colorful. A nice Sunday surprise.
