Now that spring has sprung (and apparently gone away again here in Minnesota ), the Squeakster and I have been going out onto the balcony in the evening to enjoy the spring air.

As soon as she hops outside, she'll spend a considerable amount of time rolling around on the deck. She does this on dirt too (which is why she doesn't get to go to the park very often, too much trouble to give her a bath each time).

Is there a reason she does this? I haven't observed too many indoor cats going outside, but my friend's cat did this too.

this is a video from last fall to demonstrate - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_EtF-L0j2Q

So is she an odd duck, or just a normal kitty?

I love how she responds to you (and you have a lovely voice!) - my indoor boy does that inside every few days, roll and roll and stretch - but my girl rarely does that.


Squeaky looks gorgeous - and totally content in her home.

Bumper does it too when I bring him out on the balcony but none of the others do, I figure he just likes to roll in the dirt left from the rain etc

All of mine roll outside, usually in a dirty spot

Cats roll in dirt for the exact same reasons other animals do it. But they'll also roll when excited/happy - if you notice there will also be a lot of cheek rubbing during this, which spreads around pheromones.
