Greetings! We are on the verge of one of the best times of the year: it’s almost time for Spring Fever. Spring officially arrives in the Northern Hemisphere at 11:33 am (Eastern Time Zone) tomorrow, March 20th. It’s the vernal equinox which means that the day and night are the same length on Sunday. Then the days start getting longer than the nights. It should also start warming up. Finally!!
Here’s some of what what we’re looking forward to:
Cat TV – There are so many more birds during the summer. We get robins, sparrows, woodpeckers, wrens, bluebirds, and lots more. And the animals are more active. We’ll have squirrels, bunnies, groundhogs, deer, raccoons, possums, snakes, frogs, and maybe some other stuff. And there’s bugs to chase too.
Sun puddles – Spring means more sun, and more sun means more sun puddles. There is no better place to take a nap than in the middle of a sunny spot. Either curled up or all stretched out. There’s nothing like warm fur.
Earlier breakfast – Mom gets up at the same time during the week, but on the weekends she usually feeds us when we get her up. But she’s grumpy about it if it’s still dark out. In the summer, she gets up much more willingly. Now if we can just figure out some way to get more treats.
More energy – We don’t have to use up so much energy staying warm, so we can do more roaming and exploring. We’re not really interested in zoomies anymore, but we do feel more energetic. And we usually take shorter naps. There’s so much more to explore and look at.
Spring smells – It’s almost time to open the window. And it smells so good outside. There’s grass, flowers, other animals, and all kinds of stuff to sniff.
Opening the catio – It’s only a few weeks until we get to go back out on the catio. We didn’t get to use it much last year, but our human brother has promised improvements. It’s gonna be great!
Planting catnip – We don’t really like plants, so Mom never learned how to keep us out of them. But it was a huge problem when she tried to grow catnip. So it has to go outside. She promised to plant a bunch this year. We can’t wait.

Spring fever is very much here in London, too. Someone is being a massive pest.
Aww. Poor thing just wants attention. 🙂
Those are all good things to look forward to. I much prefer fall and winter though. 🙂 XO
I’m a fall person. I don’t like the extremes.
Oh yes! We’re seeing signs of spring here too- the Lilac tree is blooming! But unfortunately, there’s still plenty of rain!
It’s been pretty gloomy around here too. But we saw our first robins today
Yes- We’ve seen a few also! Delicious!!!😼
I love the “Planting Cat Nip” one. =^..^=
Thank you. That’s a real goal this year. Purrs

That stinks. The snow should be gone (although we will probably get more before it’s all over too)
Spring has, for the most part, sprung ’round here.
You’re lucky. It can’t quite make up it’s mind here.
Spring sure is a great time.
Particularly if you’re a cat. All the benefits, none of the cleaning and yardwork
I want to be a cat in my next life. 🙂
Ah, those spring time photos were pawsome and we can’t wait to get outside in our harnesses or the cat stroller and get that sweet scent of spring for ourselves. It’s a bit early for that in our neck of the woods as the snow is still melting but we do have sun puddles!
Purrs & Head Bonks,

We thought we were set, then there were flakes this morning
Oh my whiskers! No more flakes!!!!
