Trapped indoors

Miimi is dreamily looking out the fenced window on our patio. She makes it look like she's the saddest cat on earth, trapped inside with nothing to do. The truth is she's already been out today for hours, and didn't really mind coming back in to get her supper. The thing she objects to is that I'm on the outside and she's on the inside. If we all are indoors she's perfectly happy, but when I was out doing garden work she felt neglected.
