I learnt that letting your new cats outside for the first time after you've had them for four weeks is very stressful. Max galloped off into the distance...



...and didn't return for 45 minutes. Not quite the carefully planned, 10 minutes and then lure them in with dinner (as recommended by the re-homers).

Still, it was great to see them enjoying the outdoors finally. We'll be braving it later this week and giving them free rein, we are only letting them out once a day until then.
