[Image]Recently Desert Boy saw this cat and took off towards it. He's been around cats sporadically, and usually they don't like all his attention. I figured I would just watch and see what happened.
[Image]He's getting close and the cat is getting nervous, ready to take off. I expect the cat to dash away at any moment.
[Image]But instead something else catches Desert Boy's eye and he keeps traipsing past the cat. I can hear the cat's sigh of relief. Whew, no little boy to put up with. I can just relax and do my own thing.
[Image]All the commotion attracts some of the horses, who had been grazing out in the field. They like being around people and don't want to miss any of the action.
[Image]Here are a couple more coming in to see what's going on.
[Image]And for this horse, it's a good reward, a little nuzzle time with Desert Boy. He's not intimidated by these huge creatures, and he usually laughs when they nip his clothes--or Mama. He's growing up to be quite an animal lover. I just am not sure what I'll do when he gets to the stage when he wants to have more pets!
