SWEET PEA MAMA CAT JUMPING & FROLICKING AROUND IN THE AUTUMN LEAVES

BACKSTORY: So almost 2 weeks ago our down-the-street neighbor (we later discovered; they confessed) dumped a family of 5 in our yard - 1 Mama Cat (later to be renamed Sweet Pea) & 4 kittens. Our immediate neighbor (fellow Cat Lady In Arms) helped us find homes for 3 of the kittens & looks like we're "stuck" with the remaining 2. Well, not really stuck - we had already decided to keep Sweet Pea as an outdoor cat (you can see how adorably sweet she is AND she likes riding in the car - heh, our kind of cat!) & we're hoping our 2 little old lady indoor cats will eventually accept the male ginger kitten as a companion, since both their Maine Coon boyfriends died earlier this year (yet to be determined on that front).

But Sweet Pea was so cute jumping around in the leaves I had just raked that I had to try & capture some video (just in time, too - the sun went down shortly after & made it too dark)! I've really never seen a cat do that before? But I'm from California where most of our trees are evergreen & there are no leaves TO jump in.
