Molly went outside! This was her first time. Specifically, we sat on my little stoop and looked out into the courtyard. Twinkie was exploring. She was sniffing around and munching on blades of grass, as usual. When Twinkie is outside, Molly tends to watch her through the window making little meows, but this time I decided that she was allowed to come outside and sit on my lap for a while. It was quite an experience for the kitty; indeed, it was something of a sensory overload. Birds and butterflies flitted overhead, and Molly twitched as each new movement caught her eye. The smells that she sampled from the wind were so exciting. And for once, she was able to sit still on my lap. I think she wanted to run and frolic, but couldn’t quite decide which direction to head first. I took her back into the apartment before she could figure it out.
