Kitty spends a lot of time in the garden chasing chipmunks and killing innocent Garter snakes, but sometimes he just strolls around taking in his little paradise. What’s that? It smells like a funeral. It must be those lilies.
Just around the corner kitty’s tricky owner has a fake bird watching over the clematis. Kitty isn’t happy about things that look like things they are not.
A guest arrived and brought a mobile with fake dragonflies that light at night (something about solar power was mentioned). Kitty’s owner was thrilled with the gift. Kitty found it provoking (since he couldn’t eat them) but said nothing.
Kitty then heard a ruckus in his yard. There he found Ferdinand splashing around in his “pond.” Kitty pointed out that it was a discarded plastic saucer for snow. Ferdinand told Kitty where to go and continued with his bath.
Kitty wondered if Ferd knew the consequences of Sophie suddenly going off to be with her eggs for hours on end. He decided to leave the happy duck in his ignorance as soon he might be a father.
It occurred to Kitty whilst muttering about Japanese beetles on his owner’s zinnias that he was becoming a fly in the ointment sort of cat. Must he always notice the beetles and the plastic and the quacking of those insufferable ducks?
He decided to turn a new leaf. He promised himself that from now on he would never, ever complain about Friskies Pate when he only really loved Friskies shredded beef.
Oliver, I knew you were waiting for us to leave……hehe……..I don’t blame You!
He’s very stand-offish–even with us! The lights are so cool. I hung the dragonflies in the tree outside the kitchen window. The lights change colors. Very pretty. The globe is in the pot of peppers outside the door–love it. Thanks again for everything. We’re still eating and enjoying all the goodies.
Well, now, that was a very fine tale about Kitty’s adventures in the garden. Always good for us to see a garden through different perspectives. 🙂
Kitty is such an insightful and observant soul. May I just say: I loved this post! Yes, seeing the world through cat eyes. A better world it is!
