sunday morning



i have always loved sunday mornings...late breakfast--if your lucky somebody makes waffles from scratch--reading the funnies, hanging out in jammies, watching sunday morning. so this morning i am listening/watching sunday morning and doing my mental exercises on the computer, set game, jigzone....when my whinner cat starts in.. at first i don't really hear because i am really concentrating, but then because it is so insistant i turn around. much to my suprise sam has something in his paws. at first i think it is a mouse and this is what i get for giving them the priviledge of an outdoor outing on sunday morning. closer look reveals it is very much alive, seemingly whole and unhurt and it is a little ground squirrel. after sam almost releasing it, i managed to get it away from him and release it back outside out of view of both kitties. the kitties are getting old, when they were younger they would have hunted it back down and brought it back in.

how cool! that is by far the best catch I've heard of. our kitty is still afraid of outside. despite the new catdoor being in place for quite some time, she will only venture out when she knows you are watching her. i wish our kitty brought us cool stuff.
