Monday Mancat Memories: Derry's first time in the garden

These were snapped on Boxing Day (Dec 26) 2007, five days after Derry came home. It was the first time I let him out into the enclosed back space. It was a grand adventure for a young cat!


I don't remember what he was looking at here (below), possibly Nicki or Annie.

It's hard to believe he was ever that lean. :-D

Nicki came over to see what Derry found so fascinating (dead stalks).


Below, Derry looks like he was talking up a storm to Nicki, but he actually had been chewing on one of those dead stalks.

I have so many picture of the boys that my next post will still be from December 2007, their first outdoor tussle the next day, on the 27th. 💕

Derry was so cute. It is good to have so many photos of happy memories.
What an adventure for you to remember. How cute they both were together. One so dark and the other one so silver. Good way to tell them apart.
It is nice to see the early years. Hugs as you miss sweet Derry and Nikki.
Purrs, Julie
Dearest Kim,
Derry looked so sweet and inquisitive—discovering HIS world.
It sure helps when they have fur–siblings by adoption or real.
And that last photo where he is all tuckered out inside the box.
Photos are a BLESSING!
Looking forward to the next series.
Hugs,
Mariette

Kim I have found memories of Derry and Nicki in their Garden and how you made it so very safe and fun for them. They were so lucky to be loved by you and you were lucky to be their Mom!!
Derry had such beautiful gray fur
Hugs Cecilia

Derry was such a cute little guy! Thank you for sharing this memory with us.
Kim I am so happy you are sharing these. Seeing Derry and Nicki are making me smile. The fact that they were gray tabbies like my Cody makes me smile too because I get to think of Cody when I see your boys. Oh how you and I miss them all soooooooo much!! Sending (((hugs))) and love.
