This guy looks like my Olimar. I gotta try and get a shot of him stalking prey under the tree. He's always trying to attack and kill this quickly-moving red dot.

A little dangerous for curious cat who likes to chew random things :) but light is beautiful. tag2
Posted 37 months ago. ( permalink )

I was concerned about Bear chewing on the cords, too, and I asked his human if he's noticed Bear doing that, and he said he has not, but I suggested for safety's sake that he unplug the lights when he's not around to supervise.
