We visited early in the morning, when the indoor enclosures were being cleaned and stocked with new Bamboo. Mei Xiang paced, wanting to get back into her enclosure. This is what a Panda Bear looks like walking around.

Tazz crawls in an empty bag to take a nap. Forget buying a cat bed. Just give them a bag!

Tazz found the catnip mouse and takes it away from the other cats, who ignore him while he plays.

While relaxing on a cold night, my girl, Chloe starts purring none stop behind my head. I wanted to record the moment. Having her in my life brings me so much joy. Sounds like she is a happy kitty.

Mango and Tazz eat some nip and then end up in each others space. Mango take the couch, leaving Tazz to play with the Kong catnip mouse.

Mango goes nuts every night when his owner goes to bed. He expects to play with his toy that is more exciting when someone is on the other end making it move. Chloe, and to some extent, Stormee join in the play.

This little guy was stuck in a hole in the rock for a week. He got himself free and went right back in. It took me 15 minutes to get him back out and I put a shell in the hole to keep him out. Today, he decided to change into that shell, on the rock. Needless to say, I was a tad worried. He is now climbing the rock in the new bigger shell. Hope he stays out of the holes.

When you use your feet to anchor yourself on rocks, in water, is there really and up or down?

This snail controlled his slide down to the bottom of the tank so he could eat off the algae covered shell.

My two cats were mesmerized by watching kittens on a YouTube channel, TinnyKittens. As I watched the channel on my TV, my fur babies tried to play with the kittens on the screen.

The hitchhiker in the bag of mysid shrimp is doing well. Found out today he isn’t the smallest shell in the tank. Week 3 of cycling a saltwater tank.

This is the largest hermit in the tank. Just watched him eat a patch of mucus net on the rock, and my heart is singing.

I ran out of wet food but Mango doesn’t care. I caught myself getting ready to ask him if he was ready for dinner but had to change the conversation.

This guy was a busy bee looking for a new home.

If your food was on every grain of sand in the tank and you had a mountain of rock to climb later, you would be eating on the run too.

This hermit is eating the algae on the snail’s shell. The snail is not to happy about lugging around an unwanted passenger.

Security camera catches cat as she repeatedly attacks her cat tree. During the attacks, her brother Mango checks in on what she is doing. After several different attacks, she runs and hides under the bed.

Sometimes when Mango is in my lap, the world stops moving and I have my moment of Zen!

He loves bunnies. He loves his siblings. He loves fosters. Mango gets a little carried away and teeters over the edge of the couch at the end of the vid, so caught up in loving on Stella, a foster kitten.

Finally put live food in the tank. The pajama cardinal loved it.

From left to right, seeing what everyone was doing in the tank

While testing new security camera, this was caught triggering the camera. It zooms through the room. Was it a dust particle? A bug flying? Or was it an Orb? Not sure.

Bubba always wins the fight. No matter how many times Chloe gets a good smack or two.

Here is a longer clip of Chloe trying to play with the snails and fish in the tank. She was really purring while sitting in my chair.

Thought this was pretty cool. You don’t normally see their little faces.
