Yesterday was the first sunny day in over a month.

I was outside yesterday, I was a bit bored and went photo crazy

I took one at this same place earlier this spring, that photo is also in this thread if you want to see the difference

I went to the botanic garden. But as you might notice in the following pictures, that yesterday it wasn't the botany that cought my attention.

After the botanic garden, I went down town and took pictures of various things.

This hotel here is one of the oldest hotels in the country and also one of the most classy hotels.

This thread in ancient... But I do have some picture I'd like to share

There was an awful storm on friday. I had walked to school in the storm at 8 in the morning... In the afternoon the storm calmed down, but then later in the afternoon and in the evening the storm came back again. These pictures were taken when I was walking home about 15:45. And the storm was moving in again.
I took them with my mobile so they are not of the best quality.

This is a cat. I call him the Symphony cat. Because his bells are so loud. He often runs around in my street and around my house. Yesterday and today he was by my windows, so I went out both yesterday and today to pet him. Today I took some pictures of him. I was standing there barefoot in my pyjamas in -2°C, petting a cat I don't even own. When i saw him yesterday i got a little worried, I thought he was a little malnourished. But when I looked at him today, it is not that bad, but I do think he is not eating the right food. I know cats shed a lot in the spring when the sun is shining more, but I have never known a cat to shed as much hair as this one. In one stroke with my hand my hand was covered with hair. I am not sure if the owners are grooming him. I didnt see any marking on him either. :shocked:, just his collar with the bells.

Anyhow I took pictures of this new friend of mine. Enjoy!

Well he is eating, I am sure of that, I just have a hunch he is not getting the right food, maybe something is missing in his diet. But I am no vet, so I dunno.

All I know for sure sure, is that this cat is cute!!

I am no vet either, and I certainly don't do cats. Not to mention that you would know better than me, because you see him in person. But some things we look for in dogs to tell whether they are doing well on a certain food are as follows:

-Shiny, soft coat (minimal shedding - you mentioned lots of shedding, didn't you?)
-White teeth (depending on age. Young dogs should always have white teeth while older ones may not)
-Bright, alert eyes
-Minimal eye goop (yucky booger-like things that sit at the inner corner of the eyes - I call them eye goobies, lol!)
-Firm stool, but not hard

I'm sure I'm missing something but you get the picture. Good luck with him! :)
