Curious Cats Peering Through Windows Gazing At The Abundance Of The Outside World (20 Pictures)

Folks with cats at home know that cats sure are curious creatures, always looking for an excuse to perch up on the window and peer outside. Our cat loves to watch the birds jumping from branch to branch in the large tree that dominates our backyard. He scoots his little booty up to the edge of the window and just chills out there for a while. From there he has an excellent view of a tree that many birds call home, as well as the neighboring homes whose pets also enjoy peering out of the windows.

For cats, who spend the majority of their lives indoors (at least our house cats), seeing the abundance of the outside world can be a little intimidating at first, but after a while the cats want to see more and more. We've even had one incident of our cat trying to finagle his way OUT of the window, good thing we were there to grab his behind and scoop him back inside. We keep our windows extra locked nowadays, but still perfectly accessible for our cats to peer outside of and gaze and the beauty and excitement of the outside world. Enjoy these 20 purrfect pictures of curious cats peering through windows and gazing at the abundance of the outside world!
