Car-E is growing!

August 25, 2020Car-E, catssusanmanzke

When I found a little kitten in my car wheel well in June, he looked like this:

I named him Car-E.

This kitten loves his food and is growing like a weed.

On August 25, only 2 1/2 months later, Car-E has changed.

Today, Car-E looks like this:

Car-E is not the sweet little thing anymore.

He loves to play, using teeth and nails. I have the marks to verify his playfulness. But when he cuddles and sleeps he’s sweet again.

Car-E’s surprise attacks can be a bit much, but other than that, he’s a fun addition to the family.

With a little help from my friend

I had scraps leftover from making pillows from Bob’s shirts. Some of the bits were big enough to use in other ways so I set to work cutting the pieces.

Car-E thought the pieces dangling from my hand were there for him and he started attacking the material and me.

This clip doesn’t do his antics justice.

I couldn’t cut while he was leaping up at me. Videoing just didn’t work either.

Yet, I thought this crazy cat’s antics were worth sharing today.

I still have more shirt pieces to work on, but when I do I’ll lock Car-E in another room.

A bed for Sunny

When I was at Fleet Farm last week, I found a large, cumfy bed for Sunny. The best part, it was on sale.

I brought it home without thought where it would go. It was large, so I just dropped on the kitchen floor. Immediately it became a bed for…

Car-E

Once Car-E came bounding onto the bed. He bounced like he was on an air mattress and flipped over. He took it all in stride and relaxed on his back.

Othello also took a turn on the pet bed. That black cat is ancient but he knows a good thing when he finds it too.

Thank goodness, Sunny isn’t interested in the bed.

Too tired to play

Car-E was more than ready to jump into my grocery bags to help me unpack this morning.

He worked so hard Car-E wore himself out.

First he went into a paper bag and then he attacked a plastic bag. Finally, he gave up helping and attempted to play with a cat toy.

But he was too tired to stand up.

Poor Car-E.

I should add that soon he was leaping about the kitchen again. He only needed a little breather.

The potato chase

Today, Care-E really was playing with a potato, a tiny one.

I think he likes it because, like the avocado pit, it wabbles and goes different directions.

I included two videos because they are so short.

Car-E is too fast for me.

But he sure was having fun.
