Way to be all stealthy and stuff
Apr. 17th, 2009 09:38 pmIt was gorgeous out today, simply gorgeous. Mid 70's, sunny, light breeze. I admit that I luxuriated in it for awhile.
No one was happier than the cats. The two indoor felines, Spot and Stella enjoyed the breeze and sunshine while sitting in the open windows. Pete and McGee spent a lot of time outside, alternating between lazing in the sun and sleeping in the shade.
And then, as dusk was beginning to settle in, Carrie and I were treated to the sight of Pete stalking a victim.
The grass isn't tall enough for her to sneak through, so she opted for the lilies, snaking through the leaves, low and slow, occasionally poking her head up to spot her prey (two birds in the yard) and adjust her course.
She had just emerged from cover and was about ready to pounce when her victims took flight.
Carrie and I were rolling. We must have stood at the kitchen window watching her do all of this for like five minutes.
I don't think Pete appreciated the audience.
