Wildlife encounter

Just wandered out to the living room, and Southmoon was staring out the back door at something on the lawn.

I looked out: 'twas a two-tone kitty, just by the deck, presumably munching on seeds that Joy had put out for birds and squirrels.

It scampered off when I showed up and commented on it.  Just as well; they reportedly don't make good playmates for housecats.

One night long ago when we were eating dinner a momma skunk came on the deck (right in front of us) with her young to dine at the cat food bowl, the cat was dozing on the deck too. The cat looked up and watched the skunks eat the food and went back to it's nap. Smart cat....
