Round and round

Round and round we go – few circles around the couch; from the living room to the bedroom and back to the living room; along the corridor to the outside door and back to the opposite side of corridor to pull the books off the bookshelves; towards people and away from them; to the bench then to the plants to pick up a leaf or two and back to the bench. Cat figured out how to turn and to stop. She is walking everywhere now and to complicate things further she is often carrying something totally absurd in her hand, like an empty 5 little water bottle or two Tupperware containers smaller one inside the bigger one.

Today, for the first time, she decided to walk fully independently outside and didn’t want to hold onto my hand (or even one finger like she was doing for the last few days). She highly enjoyed her new ability to walk wherever she wanted despite few falls into the hedges and the mud. Someone should do a PhD research into the magnetic properties of the mud and puddles – she seems to be able to find them everywhere even if there is only one muddy spot on the whole street.
