There was no way Castor was going to let animal attacks keep him out of the preserve. While Betsy and George were babysitting Lily Moon, he had gone out to have a little time to himself in nature. Oh sure, he had the garden at home but that just wasn't the same as wandering the woods. He just had to be careful of any wild animals. So far he hadn't seen anything and he hadn't gotten any warning from the other creatures. Admittedly, there weren't many around. The paths he took were free of birds and things in the underbrush. They'd probably been frightened away ages ago.
He wasn't entirely certain which way he was going, only that there were deer paths that were leading him through more interesting parts of the nature preserve. Eventually he ended up in a sort of clearing. If there had been a tree on the particular stump that was in the middle of it, it wouldn't have been clear at all. But the blue sky sliced through the trees beaming sunlight down on the tree that should have been. It was very sad to Castor. He didn't like it when nature hurt though he could never really explain it.
Part of him wanted to lay down on the tree stump, curl up and take a nap but that sort of felt like sleeping on a corpse. So he climbed a tree on the edge of the clearing and settled high in the branches. Sure it wouldn't help him be safe from a mountain lion per say but he'd be safe from anything else. He closed his eyes and let himself relax. If he tried hard enough, he almost felt like he could be one with the bark and leaves. But he'd always had a green thumb so that was probably it.
