#10 - Game on




This is an anonymous cat which I watched every day while we were at the beach last week. The dock he is on is probably 99 feet long (which is as long as docks are allowed to be) and extends out into the marsh. The "game was on" when kitty would go out onto the dock and carefully and patiently look down into the marsh grass until he spotted his breakfast (or lunch or dinner or snack). Then suddenly he would jump down into the marsh (and I would completely lose sight of him for a minute or two) and then just as quickly he would reappear back up on the dock with legs dangling out of his mouth (crab? frog?). He would walk very calmly and self-assuredly back down the length of the dock and go over to his house to enjoy his fresh catch. What a cat!

What a fun story!!! And a FABULOUS picture. So glad you didn't quit. ;) This fella sounds like he was quite a joy to watch.

I love your stories behind the scenes! Your friend looks like a formidable predator.

What a cat(ch)! Maybe it's not really a cat. Maybe it's part cat, part bird of prey.
