Mr Maine Coon and the crocuses

He had been absent for a while from his travels through our garden from somewhere to somewhere.

And then we found out that he had indeed been injured by a vehicle and confined to barracks while his operated leg healed.

A couple of days ago, there he was again when I opened the back door first thing, so we had a little photoshoot.

I have also discovered his name is Rollo. The crocuses in the lawn, out this January were blooming in March last year.

Rollo is a beauty, hope he’s learned his lesson about cars

A lovely looking moggy

I am not a cat person but if I was going to convert it would be for a Maine Coon

[Peter]

Well captured in lovely detail and colour Hazel:)

[Brian]

Sir Rollo

[Granny7(Denise)]

He is fabulous

[Linda Godwin]

What a handsome dude, Glad to hear he is back. I couldn`t let him out my himself to get hurt.

[Hazel]

@rontu
I couldn't imagine having a free-to-roam cat either...

[Hazel]

@briaan
Indeed!!

[Merrelyn]

He's a handsome fellow, but I wouldn't want him wandering freely.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Poor kitty. He is so cute and I'm glad he is okay now. Maybe they shouldn't let him out anymore.

[Anne]

So glad he hasn’t used all of his seven lives, he’s a handsome chap, great capture of him and the early croci

[Joanne Diochon]

So nice to see handsome Rollo back again.

[Hazel]

@annied
Ditto!

[Hazel]

@gardencat
It's so nice that you remember him!

[Hazel]

@365anne
He just loves photoshoots!

[Hazel]

@mittens
I wouldn't but then he is not mine....

[Hazel]

@denful
I am lucky that he is extremely photogenic!

[Hazel]

@pcoulson
Peter, thank you for your nice comments!

[Hazel]

@yorkshirekiwi
He is great, yes but I doubt he understands cars...

[Hazel]

@Dawn
I so agree!

[Joanne Diochon]

@rontu It's a tough question I've had a number of cats in my life and some of them just need to be out, especially if they have had a few years of freedom before they came to me. I love my kids too but I wouldn't make them spend their lives in my house to keep them from getting hurt.

[Pat Knowles]

Lucky Rollo. Nice to see him again I expect…..he looks very handsome. Four feet in a row!

[Hazel]

@happypat
He was miaowing loudly outside our back door, hoping to be let in!

[bkb in the city]

Great capture

[Phil Howcroft]

he's a beauty Haze , I hope he doesn't leave surprises for you , we have some visitors who make a real mess on our back garden

[wendy frost]

So nice to see Mr Maine Coon again and hoping he recovers well after his Injury. He hasn't forgotten you and your lovely garden .

[Shutterbug]

Crocuses…..love that sign of spring. Glad your visitor is healed.

[amyK]

Nice kitty pose! (And I’m envious of your signs of Spring!)

[Hazel]

@gardencat
An interesting and thoughtful comment, thank you.

[Hazel]

@phil_howcroft
No he doesn't and I think he regards our garden as part of his 'estate'! He was actually miaowing loudly outside the back, door to get into the house....

[CC Folk]

He does look like a Maine Coon to me. Big size, long hair, shape of his nose...
