Weren't you afraid Jeffrey would get his nose nipped?

The turtle closed up his front end and never would come out when he saw Jeffrey starting toward him. When Jeffrey initially spotted the turtle, the turtle was walking. Jeffrey became so frustrated he began pawing at him on his shell because the turtle refused to come out. Rest assured, I was keeping a close watch.

I know first hand it hurts when they bite. I had a box turtle named Sam when I was in 1st or 2nd grade. I took him outside to impress some girls. Sam came out and grabbed my right cheek. I pulled and pulled, he still stayed clamped on. I was so embarrassed but acted like no big deal, happens all the time. I excused myself. Went inside and stood on the commode seat, looked into the mirror. All I could think about was my grandmother telling me if a turtle bites you, it won't let go until it thunders. That day was bright and sunny, not a cloud in the sky! I was freaking out. Of course he did get tired and let go of my cheek in a little while. I remember my Mom asked me what happened to my cheek and tried to pull my face around to look at it. I pulled away, blew her off with "oh, nothing." LOL!

Now aren't you glad you asked??? Heh Heh! (I know I ramble way too much.)

The outside kitty is now in my office. Last night some wildlife scared her so I think it is better for her to sleep in my office at night.

Baby kitty and the kitten are very curious. I think a dog door in front of my closed office door may help.

Lots of kitty excitement in my house these days.

Hope, my blind dachshund, decided my head was her scratching post this AM. She is so funny, she is only 15 lbs, and we sleep in a KS bed, BUT she gets 3/4 of it, I get a quarter of it. How does something so little take up so much space...lol

She, aka Jazmin sat in an empty box top and completely ignored the new bed I bought for her.

Monte had a bit more spring in his step this morning and spent more time ripping up his cardboard scratching box than he did after breakfast yesterday. I'm still going to go online and purchase a cat carrier just in case. I gave his away when the animal rescue people picked up Survival Cat and her kittens. I checked online and Survival cat and all but two of her kittens have been adopted so that was a good discovery. I hope like their siblings the remaining two find good forever homes.
