This is Carl, he's 11 years old (12 in June, 2025), and he's a good boy.

He is very mouthy and loves to hang out.

Carl is a big fan of looking outside. In fact, he demands I leave the front door cracked open in all seasons so he can watch critters and keep up with the goings-on in the neighborhood. This year we were able to negotiate the winter months with a temporary window perch in the same room (picture not available yet).

Sometimes we watch the birbs at the birb feeder together.

Carl is a very large boi. The vet says his target weight should be about 13 pounds considering his impressive length.

Oh, hello!

Carl is in your face

He's a very active boy and likes to live dangerously. Here he is living on the edge.

Sometimes when he's sleepy he falls asleep face down. What an adorable little dingus (don't tell him I said that!)

Oh. My. Goodness. Look at that handsome little man. When we lay down at night he will lay on my chest like this, demanding face rubs until he is satisfied.
