PICTURES FROM THE WEEK
I have two really clear pictures from the past week. Neither is life changing but the images are fixed in my mind.
The first one involves our two great hunting cats. Our Big Cat is pretty incompetent as a cat. The good news is she knows it and doesn’t seem to worried about it. Our little cat, Frankie, thinks she is the greatest hunter/ warrior to ever grace the earth.
One night last week I looked out on the glass enclosed back porch where they were both enjoying some sunny weather. Big Cat was upside down in the recliner, feet straight to heaven engaged in some feline meditation. Frankie is ferociously attacking a fly in the middle of the porch rug. The bug had no chance.
Now the funny part! Looking in at them was a neighborhood cat that keeps our neighborhood short of rabbits and groundhogs. He is exactly what you think of when you envision a hunting animal. He sat there for several minutes watching The two fake cats, did the equivalent of a cat head shake and walked away. Needless to say, neither Frankie or Big Cat even knew he was there.
The second picture is even funnier to my mind. I was at Val and Ron’s cottage for lunch. Normally I am not a great fan of venison, but Val had these smelling wonderful, so I tried one. Tasted very good, but just as I dug in, I noticed I was being watched by a stuffed deer head on the wall. There was just something odd about the whole experience.
