PS- What's that mane thing on Keesha?
Interesting birds. I remember a study which followed a domesticated cat around NYC for a month. This little innocent Tabby of a cat turned into a maniacal serial killer when it left the apartment.

Going for a walk with a cat through the suburbs, I've also come to learn about the birds in the neighbourhood.
When we walk through certain territorial zones, the birds who own that zone will hover above sqawking and screeching, warning other birds in the area that they've sighted a cat in their zone.
There always the mynas but also a smaller type of bird. Sometimes the crows fly in and have a bit of a sticky beak too.
Jadey and Atom aren't afraid of the birds, they'll try to talk with them when the birds are screeching at them. I really can't work out what they're trying to say, the sounds they make aren't like what I've heard from their vocabulary when they're speaking to me.

I had to look to see what you're talking about - that's her fur. As she's gotten older, her fur (especially on her back) seems to go white if she's been in the sun. But if she's out of the sun it goes back to brown.
Went out for a walk earlier this afternoon. Jadey was enjoying the afternoon sun too much to come for a walk with us so it was just Keesha and I.
I was walking along deep in thought when a 4WD came to a stop on the other side of the road and the driver rolled his window down. I thought he was going to ask for directions or something. But no, he yelled out: "HOW'S THE CAT?"
It took a moment for my brain to process what he was on about, and then I broke into a huge grin and yelled back: "SHE'S LAYING ABOUT IN THE SUN ELSEWHERE!".
He grinned back at me and then drove off because there were other cars coming up behind him.
Jadey is famous in the neighbourhood.
Here are some earlier photos of what she was probably doing in the warm afternoon sun:
There are some absolute beauties in this set!
