With the fine weather enveloping our Christmas season we decided to go on a walk with our cats. Carlotta and Cheekie joined for the very first time with our new feline member, Archie.
Would he join the other two on our walk? Absolutely no problem! Archie took to the cat-walk like a treat.
Because of the rains our little mountain streams and rivulets, which often disappear entirely, were full and, while the other cats jumped over the water courses without hesitation, Archie was somewhat perplexed and looked at the rushing waters with bafflement.
Summoning up courage and encouraged by Carlotta,
however, he overcame his fear and performed a determined leap to the other side.
Archie enjoyed climbing up trees and sniffing out new trails. While Carlotta lingered behind and Cheekie decided to step out on her own path Archie was constantly at our heels and often ahead of us.
Re-entering the village of Longoio Archie struck up friendships with at least one other local cat:
Yes, it was a great pre-Christmas walk and to feel the sun on out faces after such a long period of dismally grey and damp weather was a real treat reflected in our Archie’s debut catwalk among the woods.
Archie is by far the better name as opposed to Thomas sweet but somehow with us his given name he did not seem to respond. This was our first walk with Archie he took to it admirably was a shear delight and reminded me of the good old days with Napoleons walks strangely Archie sometimes even looks like him. It was truly a fabulous sunny day enjoyed by us all.
