Got to spend some time with these cute critters last week, the first time since Cougar was even littler! His baby coat is shedding, and he’s like a little teddy bear right now – or a maybe a cuddly cute mountain kitty!
He seemed to head for a snack every few minutes. Big growing boy!
Sweet ponies
Poco is in charge.
Roach still is part of the family.
Nap time with Poco.
Mama and baby
The little guy found this dead pinon just about perfect as a scratching post, and he spent quite a bit of time there trying to get just the right spot!
The basin is too low and too dry for lupine, but for a brief time in the spring, we have these yellow flowers called prince’s plume. Perfect for a little prince!
Baby knows where to find shade!
Iya and Cougar. 🙂
Lovely visit with one cute “cat” and his family!

You scared me for a minute. I thought you might have spotted a Mama cat with kittens, but that would have been more like “Grrrrrrrrr”. Young Mister Cougar sure is growing, and I’m glad to see “Lieutenant Roach” is still at his post. Two “big boys” are better than one!
Ha – no. Just playing on his name. 🙂
