It was a good week for cats ... one got a snake, the other a mouse. It was by chance i saw them whisking away their prey. Two cats, two different days in broad daylight ... the pride of the neighborhood. ------------------------ The cat with the snake was the first one I saw. The one with the mouse was second, and for some reason more difficult to watch. Was it because I imagined the mouse as cute and fuzzy? And snakes are not? Domesticated cats don't need to hunt, but the instinct remains strong. These two carried off their prey with heads held high, eyes darting left and right, wary for whatever and whoever might be watching them. When I told my neighbor I saw her cat carrying a snake, she said, "Really, he's never been hunter." Well, he is now. This one's different.
It's a journal, but this one's only for the good stuff.
