Molly the Cat, Huntress. Now, that would be a nice calling card for the feline.
She's very good at catching bugs. She has bagged a couple of birds. That fell out of trees.
The Mama has decreed Molly the chaser of squirrels for the backyard. One squirrel (maybe more) has been eating the apricots in the tree. Once the squirrel eats part of an apricot, it falls. The Mama has lined the gnawed fruit beneath the tree as evidence. The other day, the Mama told me that Molly guarded the apricot tree all afternoon. But, still the squirrel ate the apricots.
This morning, Molly was hanging out on the front lawn when she heard something crackle behind her. She immediately went into stealth mode.
Two doves flew out of the tree! Molly whooooooossshhhed across the yard and amazingly came to a halt in the shade of the car. The doves were on the fence.
Did the doves know she was there? Molly swished her tail in anticipation. One dove flew off. It was now or never. Molly ran forward.
Bummer!
What a terrific cat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN Story!!!!
Both Molly and I say, "Thank you much." And, curtsey. Molly had a struggle with it, but she'll get better with time.
DeletePoor Molly but I am glad the doves got away. I wonder what one can do to keep the squirrels away from your delicious apricots
ReplyDeleteMaybe shiny CD disks strung up high. But, then that would keep the birds away from making nests. As long as the squirrels leave the fruits on the lower branches alone, they can anything way up high, as far as I'm concerned. The Mama, though, is a different story. She was pissed off yesterday that the squirrels eat the plumper fruits.
DeleteThe skwerls and pejuns are in kahoots!
ReplyDeleteprobably the duvz as well! :)
DeleteThe Mama calls the doves pigeons. Then she moves on to talk about the pigeons we used to raise for food when I was a kid. They were rather tasty.
DeleteIs Molly a Maine Coon cat? She is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMolly says, "Thank you, purrrrrrrrrrr. Say mewww to Irina."
DeleteMolly is part Maine Coon and Torby. The Husband says, "And, a big smidgen of cutie."
