Fiona and Chi Chi - To each her own

Chi Chi, our 3 year old Lynx Point Siamese, loves to be outside, but she's wisely cautious and doesn't like to stray outside the walled court yard in the front of our house. Even if we let her out the back door, we soon find she's walked around the house to jump over the wall back into the courtyard. There she relaxes in the shade and catches the occasional beetle or corners a friendly toad. She likes to walk around the top of the wall surveying from above. Somehow she seems to know about the coyotes who live in the neighborhood. We only let her out in the cool of the morning or evening.

On the other hand, Fiona, our old Snowshoe Siamese, prefers a soft chair in our air conditioned house. We got her as a stray about 3 years ago and she's had quite enough of the greater outdoors, thank you very much! The only thing on her mind is "When's the next meal?"
