An exciting walk

18 January 2018

Reading time: 3 mins

We had a very exciting walk. It involved cats and Ibex, all in one day, in one walk. How lucky are we.

Rita has a little game in the morning, usually played with hu’dad while hu’mum is getting ready to take us out for a walk. There is a short video at the end of her game.

Please note the time in this picture captured by Campocam. The cat made a mistake, 6 minutes later we were out on our walk

The camera just captured a disappearing Arko and Kyra on her way down. Hu'mum can only assume the cat ran back the way it had gone up

3 seconds later Khumbu made it onto camera. Don't worry about the cat, all is OK. She and 7 of her friends live around the campo here, wild and are more than used to dogs

Khumbu gave up the chase and decided to check in and see who has been at campocam watering hole recently

Can you believe it, later on in our walk, another cat. Arko had tree'd this cat. He thought it was great, tried to climb the tree, wooo'd at it. Again, no harm to any of the cats, they are far to savvy.

And things just got better, we found Ibex. Look at this handsome chap

Comments

The OP Pack: We don’t like it when the neighbor cats sit outside our fence and tease us. One time, Lightning chased one of them way up high in a tree. The Dad had to get out a ladder to get her to come down. Rita - you sure must have surprised your Dad when you jumped up there:) Woos - Lightning, Misty, and Timber

KB: That was a very eventful walk! A cat (or two) AND an ibex. I’ve never seen an ibex. You are very lucky!

The Ao4: We had a big black cat in our fenced-in yard yesterday! I stared out the window at him – and he stared right back! Yours sincerely, Margaret Thatcher PS: We are trying to get back into the blog-visiting groove. We’re sorry we’ve been absent. Mom’s fault.
