I’m trying to trap Boomer. No luck so far. Here are some trap antics that have ensued in the process: Junior readily entered the trap and was surprised when he got caught. I foolishly attempted to transfer him to a carrier, and he escaped. He came back to eat Fancy … Continue reading →
I have a sequence of three photos I find amusing, so I’ll share them with you. Mr. L and I are attempting to tame a couple of outdoor cats. Sneaky, we consider tame, for all intents and purposes, although she still controls our access to her. The other subject in … Continue reading →
