Question 20: When is a cat not a cat?

04/08/201429/07/2016Claudette6 Comments

Last night, hearing lots of thumps and bangs from the back deck, I intrepidly went to investigate the source of the noise.
Something was eating the dry cat food, something that wasn’t a cat!
It was about the same size as a cat, it had the same number of legs as a cat.
It had a snout – not like a cat, and it hopped – again, not like a cat.
What was it? I think it was a Bandicoot, but it hopped of so fast it was hard to tell.

So the question is: why are my cats so pacifist that they sit there and watch the wildlife eat their tea?

Coffee in the Evening

I know I shouldn’t drink coffee,
this late in the afternoon,
it will keep me alight,
through all hours of the night,
and make me howl at the moon.

but oh, it is so warm and frothy,
all milk, and creamly divine,
I sip it all steaming,
I’ll forfeit my dreaming,
for this seldom drunk pleasure of mine.

Moon River

Castleforbes Bay Moon

On the way back from getting pizza for tea this evening, the moon was rising over the river.
It was beautiful.
Sadly, out of a dozen shots, only these 2 remained.
