Oh she’s a BIG BAD PUMA when she’s outside. But put on a great big Uncle Sam hat for the Fourth of July, and Livvy’s a little baby cat who needs her mommy. LOL.
My husband got a huge patriotic hat for Independence Day. Think “Cat in the Hat” size. Yeah, it actually spooked me, too, when I first saw it. He wore it for the first time around Livvy today, and this is her reaction.
Good thing we don’t have fireworks!
She’s so cute when she’s spooked.

We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.

Poor Livvy. I would have run too from that scary hat. Cats really don’t like big changes and that is one huge hat. The cats here would all be in the next county if they saw it.

Livvy is wise to be suspicious of strange things. She is very cute! Not nice to scare her like that though–he appears to be stalking her!
