As is usual, Pente went to Cochise with us. It was her first trip in the Cougar and she loved it. She found a cubby at the head of our bed which she quickly claimed as her own. She also claimed the two ottoman/cubes as her thrones. The faucets were clearly her personal drinking fountains. The windows her entertainment centers.
While she loves being in the Cougar, she definitely loves being outside more. Cochise has an abundance of grasshoppers which drove her insane. She would pounce on one just to see several others hop away. Seeing them jump, she attacks others. And others and others. She entertained herself for long periods of time chasing these poor insects.
Most of the grasshoppers were not hurt (at least physically) but instead fell victim to 'catch and release.' Others weren't so lucky. Though she has some (expensive) organic catfood to eat in the trailer, it seems she preferred the crunchy texture and taste of wild grasshoppers. Gnarly!
Her other favorite activity was engaged in at every possible moment: rolling in the dirt. And grass. How that cat can hold so much dirt and vegetation is seemingly impossible.
She did well with the birds in the Cougar. During the day while we were out, she was confined to the bedroom behind a closed and locked door. In the room she had her food, water, litter box, an ottoman, her cubby hole, two big windows and a queen size bed for lounging. She loved it there.
When we were in the camper, she had full run of the place. For the most part, she ignored the birds - however she was never left unattended. Only on a few occasions did she hear the ominous call of "PENTE!" She would quickly divert her attention away from the birds.
