after 3 days indoors, mochi the #catstr decided that he was up for spending some time outdoors in the breezy, sunny daylight out there

he will be back, of course, in a few hours expecting din dins but some sunshine and a dirt bath will definitely do him good

definitely also maintaining a warm sleeping alcove for him in the cupboard for when he returns... having a night of being warm made a big difference to how he was this morning, no slobbery nose and tongue not sticking out so much, so, clearly more heat was needed by night to fight this cold he has

hopefully a big dose of sunshine will help kick that nasty bug out of him and he'll be a bit more normal... maybe it will take a little longer for him to learn how to signal to me he wants to be let out, and there's still the mission of teaching the use of the toilet but today is a good day to be the mochi
