STALKER

 I took a photo through my window of the back yard yesterday.




Something attracted my attention.

Do you see it?

Here, I'll crop the photo down and run it through my editing software.




Now you can see him, if you didn't before.

This Siamese visits from time to time, though he's too nervous to be approached.

On this visit he was definitely in stalking mode.

We speculated whether he was after a bird or a grasshopper or a snake.

I tapped on the window and asked him but he wasn't telling.





Eventually he crept all the way across the yard, up onto our patio and underneath a chair.

But finally, seeing nothing in his path and growing tired of the game, I slid the door open.

He darted back across the yard, up on the wall and away.

Only then did his prey appear.

It was just Matty, teasing the invader as he stopped in for his morning snack and nap.

  2. That's a beautiful kitty! I love watching cats stalk although I would probably hate it when they caught and eviscerated their prey.

  3. That is a very cute stalker. I'm glad s/he didn't cross paths with Matty.

  4. How funny. I wonder if there would have been a cat fight if you hadn't intervened.
