I love this photo of Bella. She's caught by the rays of the setting sun, absolutely transfixed by the birds fluttering on and off the ledge above the window of my study.
What you can't see in that photo is how precariously she is perched on top of a perspex display cabinet.
The cats have been showing a lot of interest in the outdoors lately, so we've opened up the balcony to them. When we first opened the door both cats spent a good half hour not crossing the threshold, but simply sniffing the air. Then they sniffed the doorstep for another half hour. Then they both sat on the doorstep and planned their next move. That was day one.
Day two, and Billy has ventured about a foot onto the balcony. Guess what, he's spotted a pigeon in the tree opposite. What this photo doesn't show is the extreme amount of concentration he's putting into watching the pigeon. His ears are literally quivering with excitement at this moment. Then he spotted his first seagull and retreated back indoors again.
Bella was less nervous, and gave the balcony a good explore. Last years plant pots were of especial interest.
