Didn't get too wet out there, got through quite a bit, very satisfied. Geez I hope there's more fieldwork coming up. When it's easy and streamlined like this and out in the bush I'd happily keep going. Great for the mind and body.

Now it's time to get some cat love ๐Ÿฅฐ it's so nice having Sox at home although I feel like she's thoroughly bored, poor dear. It is a claustrophobic, dark and small apartment, and there isn't even anything interesting to look at out the windows! I can't even play with her using her toys because there's no room to move around easily.

Maybe a cardboard box to hide in and peep out of

She prefers gnawing off the cardboard, which is a bit of a pain to clean up on a carpeted floor...

Ah yes. Melbcat loves shredding cardboard

laser pointers make the whole room a playground

Hm that's an idea, I know she still reacts to quick movements sometimes so I might find one for her. Then toss her a treat every so often so she feels like she's had a reward

Have you tried the bird videos? Iโ€™ve put them on for Melbcat before but she didnโ€™t seem to be too interested

Only one of my six has ever seemed to be able to see TV. Not a great hit rate on mirrors either.
