yet another woodland dropoff, sigh.

X-No-Archive: Yes

Old Mine Rd has one home on its 7.5mi length and it's my favorite
bikeride. Except for the heartache and trouble trying to rescue the
dropoffs by sub-humans in an area where they have little chance of
survival. Case, who I did catch, had no hunting skills whatever. The
day she caught a grasshopper and brought it to me with muffled glee was
her signal moment. I felt even more pride for her when I found she had
eaten it.

Anyway. A healthy-looking black-with-white-socks was in the road as I
zipped over a rise. I stopped where it ran into the brush and made
catsounds while I got out a tin of food, popped the lid (hoping it would
recognize the sound) and tapped it with a tire pry, still talking to it
before putting it down and backing away. I never did hear any movement
or sound though, and so wasn't surprised when I returned an hour later
and the food hadn't been touched. Just have to keep an eye out for it
-- hopeful but not expectant. Stopped to see if the black cat fed by
the inn's custodian was around for a treat but, no, so the clowder at
home got a very unexpected noon treat. Maybe Tomorrow (Everly Bros, or
Eagles, your pick :- ) Norm

How can people be so cruel???

Keep us updated...I'd love to know what happens to the black with white
socks cat.

Lots of purrs and best wishes for you to find the poor kitty and a family
who would love to be adopted by her/him,
