Her name was Josephine, at the HHS (Harbor Humane Society) where we adopted her, (along with that brown Tiger-striped, black-footed Wildcat).
3.5 mos. old
And I knew she was meant to be ours as soon as I held her, when she pressed her neck & head heavy into my arm .
3.5 mos. old

But we call her Josie. And she's our grey spotted-bellied Tiger Panther . . who loves to snuggle ! .

Josie is adorable!

Thanks, Laura !;-) And yes of course we think so, like all pet owners feel about their pets, but I'm a bit embarrassed at posting so/too many pics's! That's the problem with taking too many.

Rupert is longing to chase birds. I actually think he'd catch them too.

Rupert the Black Panther !=) He's very handsome and adorable ! With such beautiful yellow eyes! I'm sure he would; he looks like he'd be a magnificent hunter! Like all Black Panthers usually are.

I don't know if you ever let Rupert outside, but I hope for your sake he doesn't ever catch a bird and bring it into the house. They are NOT easy to catch and get out of the house!

Oh he's strictly indoor. All of ours are.

We've never had indoor cats, before adopting the two kittens we have now. And I remember sadly losing a few beloved cats throughout my lifetime; two probably to predators (i.e. Cougars or Bobcats or Owls or Hawks &c), and one accidentally ran over.=((
And one, our 23 yr old, Sheba (whom we called 'Sheba boo' =), that passed last year, got picked-up by a big Owl or Hawk, back in 2003, but somehow escaped their talons, whilst either on the ground or whilst being lifted in the air, cashing in on one of her nine lives!

And one time, a beloved cat that we had to have euthanized due to cancer , but hadn't buried yet due to the frozen ground, got carried away (in her purple Rubbermaid container/coffin), by a big Black Bear, (that frequently liked to climb, and thus break, our apple & cherry trees), from an orchard/pasture loafing shed, where we had set the container on some hay bales, and down into the forest, where I immediately found the bitten container and retrieved it, after witnessing the Black Bear running through our front yard shaking its head, and pawing at its head, trying to get the duct tape off its mouth and face!
Awwww, good ol' duct tape! "The handyman's secret weapon!"
"If it ain't broke, you're not trying." . . and . .
"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy." — Red Green
But that's a whole nuther story . . .

So, for the first time ever, we decided to keep our new kittens indoors. Which we knew was a key mandate of the adoption contract we signed, as well as the kittens being chipped.

However, we do let them out on a high deck, where they love to walk the top rail, stopping to chew on hanging trellis plants & vines, and lay on the deck, with either their heads under the bottom rail or sticking through the rail pickets, watching all the birds & chipmunks & squirrels & deer &c.

And I do take our gray striped Tiger Panther out for short walks & explores– (though always my idea, and never desired by her), on a leash & harness. During which she cries and howls like a big baby, always trying to turn back towards the house, wanting back inside.

So not sure if I'll keep doing the forced walks, as we are concerned about the chances of her picking-up an illness or disease from critter fecal matter, and/or fleas or ticks &c.

Anyways, was wondering if you, @gendo667, or you, @Kizzy Catwoman, or anyone else with 'indoor' cats— ever allow them out on high decks or verandas, and/or take them outdoors on walks?

Snerd has really become a Mummy’s boy these last few weeks. Especially when he decides I cannot use my phone or iPad. Cuddles. That’s what is important to him. lol. He is so big and fluffy and warm. I do adore him.

I let mine out forever and after Ewok got run over in March 2021 and then Tiny was killed being run over in October 2021 and then Snerd got bitten badly by a fox a week after Tiny passed they all got confined to the house. We changed out the UPVC panel with the cat flap for a blank panel and that was that. Indoor kitties from now on. Now I have 10 little monsters running around the house but they are safe and that is what I care about. Losing Tiny nearly finished me off.

I have a loft conversion and sometimes I let them run around up there as a change of scenery. Snerd loves it up there and would live there permanently. lol. But I just have cat trees and let them sit by the front window. It is situated straight onto a footpath and we live next to a school so they love interacting with the tiny kids and watching everything go by. In the summer I put up a customer made door screen at my back door and leave it open knowing the can see out but not get out and they like sitting there to get fresh air.
