I decided to spend the day here again! Because nothing could possibly go wrong with this decision!
… somewhat to my surprise, nothing went wrong. This is as close as Loiosh got to going up That Tree again.

He went up a bunch of others, though. It was wooshy windy & that often gets him VERY EXCITED, & that day it got him VERY EXCITED in that DASH AROUND & CLIMB LOTS OF TREES kind of way. I didn’t get any pictures of that, cos I was laughing too hard.
Tom, on the other hand, reacted to the wooshy woosh in this manner:
![Major Tom, a big grey tabby, is laying comfortably inside the van, looking at the camera with a very 'wtf human' expression.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/20200901_155033.jpg)
& that’s pretty much where he stayed.
After I was done working on Stuff, I invited Loiosh to go for a walk with me. All I need is a path under my feet …
![A path -- really, two rutted tire tracks -- stretches off into the distance, disappearing into the woods.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/20200901_155830.jpg)
… & my boy by my side.

Not that he stayed there. In fact he didn’t follow me down the path at all. I found him wandering around off to the right somewhere.

He even failed at Dramatical Posing.

I hadda deploy treats to get him to actually walk back to the van.

Guess he was wiped out from climbing all those trees.
