We have out of town family visiting. The cats (everyone except for Buddy and Nahum) have spent the last week mostly in hiding as we have four other occupants staying in our tiny house! Two adults and two kids (14 and 12). That's a lot of unknown people for Willow, Rose and Theo to contend with. A week later and Theo is starting to come out more, but Willow waits until the kids go to bed before braving it. Rose is only seen in the wee hours of the morning before anyone is up.

Since our spare room is in use by the visiting family, I built the cats a hidey spot under the desk in the room we are in. I was happy to see Rose and Willow occupying their safe space.

And since we have needed to use Oliver's room for our bedroom, that has meant Oliver hasn't been able to come in, which is sad. I've been locking him on the back porch at night, and thankfully, he's a good sport about it.

Because I've been locking him up on the porch, I don't get to spend as much time with him. So, I've been hanging out with Mr. Oliver in his yard, something he likes. And I must admit, I like it too!
