Little Girl is Not so Little Anymore ! ( Post From The Past )



















I noticed in this past month that Little Girl is getting bigger and bigger, see for yourself. She was crawling up the far end of my porch, first up the latticework work then up the chicken wire, and over my flowers and plants. I had the wire their to keep my little tiny pup from falling through the railings. I kept it up on the far end of my porch for my Morning Glories to climb up and around on and as you can see that's just what they are doing.  I was concerned she would either hurt herself on the wire or kill my flowers. 


I did everything I could to get her to just jump from the ground up onto the porch like the other cats did but I was noticing she just couldn't when she tried. It appeared that she really wanted to do this too so up went my ramp, from the ground propped onto the side of  my porch. She would not go up it. My daughter and  granddaughter tried to encourage her to go up it but she was afraid. You could see that she wanted too. She just looked up at that ramp with the desire but not the will. After my thinking about it for a couple of days I got a brain storm....put a piece of latticework on the top of the ramp, after all she climbed up the latticework on the side of my porch.
The next morning I sat on my porch right where the ramp was and kept tapping it with my cane. Little Girl was just looking at it when Gypsy and Dixie came out on the porch, walked over to where we were and ran right down the ramp onto the ground. Well, Little Girl I believe without even thinking ran down the ramp after them and as I sat their in amazement, up the ramp she came and sat near my chair with a big smile on her face. How good is that?
