The Mighty Huntress

Considering she's now an old lady cat, complete with one eye missing, a
slightly skewed jaw, several fangs missing and a metal rod down one femur,
she never fails to amaze me. It's cold out today, so the cats have been
hogging the heat indoors, but Waffles lets me know when she wants to go out
in the garden. She's not out for more than 10 minutes and I hear the
unmistakable call of "Mowz! Mowz!" So I open the garden door and there she
is, with fat vole firmly clamped in her jaws. She is The Mighty Huntress
still!

I'm glad Waffles is still enjoying her life, I'm sorry for the vole but at
least it means the wildlife in your area is doing well.

Overall the wildlife does very well! No shortage of small rodents. The
semi-tame pheasant has taken up residence in the back garden. The bird
feeding stations are visited by many kinds of flying creatures. Robins,
great, blue, coal & willow tits with the odd long-tailed tit. Greenfinches,
chaffinches, wrens, dunnocks - fewer sparrows this year, thrushes,
blackbirds, great spotted woodpeckers, magpies, jays, the occasional
goldfinch & bullfinch... Then there's the many signs of hedgehog poo on the
lawn (good - they eat the slugs & snails). Deer & the odd rabbit too.

Sounds like a tough old gal. So glad she is enjoying life.

You should have posted a warning with this, you're going to have Victor all
upset again. ;-)

"Though much is taken, much abides and though
We are not now what strength which in older days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are -
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to see, to find, and not to yield."

Alfred, Lord Tennyson, "Ullyeses"

You go, Waffles, you mighty huntress, you go.

Will in New Haven

It's funny that you mention willow tits, I've never seen one in my garden
but a couple of days ago I watched several of them just a few miles down the
road.

It's those odd long-tailed ones that really get the imagination going.
