Lunch with Cy

September 30, 2021 by Kelsi

The other day Cy decided he didn’t want to have his lunch in the playroom, he wanted to eat in the front rooms. I can’t blame him, the front rooms have the best people watching and Cy likes people! We put all his lunch in the food chute and he enjoyed it at his leisure. Part of lunch with Cy is just sitting with him and from time to time he will put a finger out to touch the back of your hand. After lunch, it was back to reading magazines!

We just started adding Jamieween enrichment onto the wish-list today! If we are out of Jamieween items by the time you get on the wish-list we have lots of other things we need.

As for intros today, here is a photo of Terry, Cy, Mave, and Willy B all grooming on one small bench. And yes they had larger benches and other rooms, but they all wanted to be on this tiny bench together :).

    I love, love, love seeing the chimps from the Waystation, and how you have improved their lives. I worked on the enrichment for them and helped clean cages. Their whole living arrangement has improved 100%. Wish you had room for all of them!!

    That litle finger rub from big Cy is priceless. Thanks for letting us have lunch with Cy (sigh…)

    Thanks for the heads up to gear up for Jamieween too!
