Watson gets really excited when I go outside with him- he prances around meowing.  He loves to “help” me while I weed the garden by sitting on the back of my neck.  Both my kitties like to contribute to my family’s well being by bringing us presents of “food” which they leave right where we will step on them outside the door.
