It is another sleepy morning at CARE.  Dawn is wonderful in the Spring: not too hot and not too cold.  The grass is turning green, along with the trees.  We don’t have a lot of flowers, because Angel and Ridgley (CARE’s 14-year-old axis deer) tend to eat any effort made on a flower garden! 

Oh, I almost forgot all the birds chirping.  They fly into my enclosure sometimes. You know if one enters my fence they are fair game.  Fortunately for them, I am accustomed to captivity.  Hunting is not one of my strong points.

Ahem! Enough about those two. Back to the cats.... Here I am being silly, hamming it up for the interns, Rachel and Jami, when they bring me my breakfast in the morning.

They don't know I know that it contains my daily medicine. I eat it anyway without fuss, because that's the kind of guy I am.

Well okay, sometimes I fuss when they try to take away my food before I think I am done eating it. They say it's to keep my enclosure clean. Sometimes I prefer to let my meals linger over a couple days though....

Speaking of enclosures, Tawney and I are staying in Arctic's right now, because ours is undergoing renovations.

Hanson Pre-Cast Concrete of Grand Prairie, Texas have donated over 20 new concrete houses, and I am getting one of them! I'm very excited.

I have an update on my friend Tess, who was hoping to be adopted, like I have been by Little Lotus Hearts these last two years.

Rachael Watson, of Sunset, Texas, is now Tess' regular visitor and companion! Rachael works at a nearby AT&T store. Congrats to them both!

Did you know Tess is on Facebook? Now I have to share my laptop with her, which is a real pain, because she leaves claw marks on the keys and spends hours playing Wordscraper! Do you play? Start a game with her! Here is her profile.

Until next time, happy spring! 

P.S. This is a lovely time of year to visit Texas!
