Adventures in the woods! Saying hello to some lovely spring ephemerals.

Fishtopher, a classic brown tabby cat with green eyes, laying on his back in a sunny windowsill. His head presses against the ground and his canine teeth peek out from gravity. Behind him is a black cat in a yellow cat bed. Next to him is another tabby cat. Fish's body is curled to fit himself in between them, and his front paws are tucked towards his body.
Fishtopher in the same position as the last photo, but now has his front legs stretched out. He shows off his underbelly.
oooh big stretch
