Our Feline Friend, Pumpkin

Continuing our theme of mammals, we chose our cat Pumpkin to be our point of focus this week.  After several minutes of displays of affection for our feline, we observed some of his physical traits.  His padded paws walk softly while his claws are retracted until needed.  His teeth are very pointed and his tongue is rough.  We observed his slit like pupils while we enticed him to chase a string and were amazed at how large they become when he’s excited.  After a few minutes of playtime, he decided to curl up in a chair and nap for awhile.  His purring let us know that he felt safe and content.  We have also observed that he will sit at the door when he wants to go out and he meows when he is hungry or wants some attention. He loves to lay in the warmth of the sun as it comes through the glass in the doors.   Be careful when playing with him though.  His claws are sharp and his reach is farther than you might think!  (I have wounds as proof.)  We are thankful for this special pet of ours.
