Benji here and that is what she said as she pushed me out the door. Even though it was pouring rain.
I don’t like the rain and get crazy bored inside. Nothing small and living to chase. Hardly any bugs to eat (though I do find a few on the firewood.) I wish I was more like Tiger. He loves to go outside rain or shine and stays completely dry in places known to him alone. All I get is wet and I don’t like it. Sue knows that yet she still insisted I go out today. I don’t know why.
It started when she was taking a shower and I decided to join her in the bathroom. I like to be where she is. Only higher. The window ledge for instance. Which is where I jumped. Only I wanted to see outside. I tried really hard but I just couldn’t get the window open!
She must have heard the noise. When she poked her head out of the shower I could tell she wasn’t happy. (Humans have a way of letting you know these things.) So okay, I got down, navigating carefully across the tops of narrow shelves until I reached the best spot on the towels and waited for her. Patiently I might add.
When she was finally done I was ready to play. I tried everything to get her attention but nothing worked. I guess even humans have their bad days. Maybe the rain is getting to her too.
The next thing you know the back door is opening and with a bump on the rump she says go outside and play. Kind of a ‘here’s your hat what’s your hurry.’ So I did.
I shall have to ask Tiger to share his secret place with me. Until then I will remain, the slightly wet and mostly housebound,
Benji
I’m certain Effie would weigh in with you on this, Benji, although the indoor-outdoor thing at our house is the reverse of yours. She yowls to go out and I let her have her way and release her into Effieland–otherwise, “the noise, the noise!” She’s just so happy there!

Our Benji seems to be a fair weather cat. He loves outside, but not the rain. So it’s a real dilemma for him.. We are both anxiously waiting clear skies and sunshine. This has been a long and wet winter! 🙂

Our winter was long, cold, and wet, too. It’s spring now–sunny 50s after a cloudy 40s morning. And, we have daffodil and tulip leaves sprouting! Alas, the deer consumed our crocus bulbs. Bambi’s gotta eat!
