The hunter

2007.08.07
See that black and white thing there? That's the neighbor's cat. What could she possibly be doing there?

She's staring at the red squirrel under the tree.

And she's watching the baby bunny eating next to the garage.

This is our neighbor's cat who has been stalking the wildlife that we feed. She managed to get one of the chipmunks awhile ago. It happened too quickly for us to intervene.

ME: Hey, look! That cat from next door is out here!
GREG: Wow, I can't believe how close to the house she is.
ME: Oh, hey, there's a chipmunk there and-
BOTH: Oh, no!
ME (running to the door): Put him down!
GREG: Too late.

It wouldn't bother me if it was wild, eating animals to survive, but it's a house cat, so I know it's only hunting for fun. I've been chasing her off when I see her, and she hasn't come any closer to the house, at least not when we're there.

slowpete that is the trouble with cats. They come and chase the birds that you are trying to encourage to stay

Burstmode I love your photo story. A tiger exists in every housecat.
