He is quite the hunter still. When I came outside he used to climb up a tree to show off. If I said "up the tree" he would go up. He once climbed up a tree and appeared in a bit of distress, meowing. I got my extension ladder and made the rescue.

I notice now when I come outside he goes to a tree, wiggles a bit, but then just comes over for me to check him for ticks. He has a nice heated cat house in the garage but he likes the weeds in the summer.
