Fawn

A little spotted fawn was in the garden, intrigued by Diego. I managed to step outside without alerting it, and starting taking photos and video on my iPhone.

Then the mama deer came over to see what was going on so Diego decided to head for safety and went under a chair. Smart kitty. Chino just watched the whole thing, quite unconcerned.

Next we were treated to a special sight - the mama started giving the fawn a bath! It was soooo sweet. I was whispering to myself "awwww! how cute!!!" and the fawn was all "geez, are you done all ready! you did that ear 3 times!". I moved my arm and the mama noticed and that was that. She stomped her hoof several times, then she did that snorty thing and they took off for the top of the hill. It was good practice for the baby! Diego nearly had heart failure because all this happened literally a foot away from him, but Chino could have cared less. Love that cat!!

I hope this video comes out better than it did when I viewed it on email. I had to trim it way down. working on the video...... stay tuned!
