Its been more than a few weeks since I came back home from California. For the most part its been relaxing, especially since my Mom came back less than a week after my return after a two month vacation. I am a homebody and I am comfortable… mostly.
There is an animal on the loose around the house. He- its definitely a male- roams around without guidance, without aim, and absolutely without care for whatever stands in his way. Observers were able to positively identify his as a member of the Leithieus Cutieus species- a domestic poopy lion- though his domesticity is suspect when one witnesses him recklessly charging through our valuable china and turning over and ingesting anything that will fit in his vicious jaws.
He can be controlled by some stern commands, if only very temporarily, and he has been taught some rudimentary tricks involving paw gestures, but he is only compliant if the mood strikes him. The mood does not strike him often.
Know this: he is a wild beast. Still, he has been known to be soft and playful- extremely playful. He is, at his core an attention-craving creature who will roar and bounce around for our pleasure. He will also on occasion cuddle close to the inhabitants of this house, mostly the females, and nuzzle them messily but lovingly.
I am presently at home with the cub and the mother lioness. He while gravitate to her the most and perform many of his tricks, despite the fact that, for circumstances beyond their control, they are often separated. The mother-cub bond is strong, and a beauty to behold, from a safe distance.
I must now end this entry, as his feeding time draws near, and he is a harsh customer if not fed…
