Boo, a sweet and curious cat, loves exploring the garden after a refreshing rain shower. As soon as the pitter-patter of raindrops stops, her ears perk up and her eyes grow wide with excitement. She darts to the back door, eagerly awaiting the chance to bound outside into her leafy paradise.
A light mist still hangs in the air as Boo steps gingerly through the wet grass, her paws getting damp with dew. She breathes in deeply, inhaling the rich, earthy scent that only emerges after the rain. Making her way over to the herb garden, she finds it dotted with glistening raindrops, sparkling like tiny jewels on the leaves.
She stops to delicately lap up the drops of water clinging to the lemon-scented leaves of the lemongrass plant. The tangy taste is refreshing on her tongue. While lemongrass can be toxic to cats if consumed in large quantities, Boo knows not to nibble on the leaves. She is only enjoying the raindrops themselves, harmlessly savoring the flavors left behind by mother nature's gift.
Satisfied with her after-rain treat, Boo continues wandering through the garden, listening to the cheerful birds emerging from their shelters to sing in the renewed sunlight. She rolls in a patch of wet grass, playfully pawing at dancing raindrops. Later, she will curl up on the porch, warm and cozy, happily reminiscing about the garden's delights after the rain.
Fab fav. Katniss loves to wander in our yard and nibble here and there, lay in the grass and wait for something to happen and keep her eye on certain bushes for movement. We took out all the plants that were poisonous to cats because she nibbles. :)
