Lily and Rosie Update!

I just wanted to send you some recent pictures and let you know that Lily and Rosie are doing GREAT! They are just living it up in their outdoor cat enclosure despite the heat; it is pretty well-shaded and they love climbing around on the perches out there and watching the birds. We built a little set of stairs to help Rosie get easier access to it with her short little legs (their access point is a window in our daylight basement so they can come and go as they like), and now she just zooms up those stairs every day, happy as a clam. She has really relaxed and becomes more and more interactive with us and cuddly by the day. She and Lily are good sisters and partners in crime; they just love to play together. Our oldest cat, Luke, is 18 now and not up for much play time anymore, but he likes to watch the girls go after their favorite toys and sometimes joins in as well.

I have to tell you a great story about Lily: a couple of weeks ago, around 3am, she woke me up in a panic. At first, I thought she was just wanting to play, but she ran to the window and was very distraught about something outside and scratching at it. I looked and there was a prowler in our yard!  What a wonderful little guard cat she is! It's a good thing she woke me up; our security light deterred him but then he went to the neighbor's house. So I called 911, and I think they caught him. All because of our smart little Siamese. :)
