Izzy likes to escape into the back yard, even though she has a catio. Apparently the dust baths are better down the hill. The dust is great because that is where the dogs run to catch the ball and they keep the clay nicely churned. Rolling in the dust during a game of fetch though doesn’t work well and sends Izzy running back to the catio, but to the outside hammock. We originally built the outside platforms for Sophie the outside cat, but they are way too close to Izzy. Plus there is the added nice view of the tantalizing dance of the chickens. Cat TV.

I actually took this picture before Texas Winterpocalypse, but this is what it looks like again. Texas, shaking off the cold like a bad dream.
