Little stinker. I put up the sunscreens and Sophie thought she can wiggle into the coop like she did last year (she can walk on the fabric, but not the wire). She forgot that I used 2x4s to block her entrance. So she’ll settle for looking over the edge like a gargoyle.
So that explains why my honeysuckle is getting torn down from the arbor. Sophie the outdoor/indoor cat is trying to get to a nest. Last year we had cardinals that tried to nest there, then gave it up as a bad job. Apparently someone is trying again.
Uh uh. Nope. No cats in the hen house. Sophie tried to follow me in like she belonged there. Nice try cat.
Our outdoor/indoor cat Sophie came prancing into the house with a field mouse! A live one. Very live. Amazingly, after praising her for being a good hunter, she let me take the mouse from her. I took the little guy out to the meadow to let him go. Then washed my hands!!
I was heading out to change the memory card in the trail cam and Sophie (our gray calico) was walking along with me (she likes to take walks in the woods with us), and Big Orange Tom was right behind her. This picture was taken moments after he realized I was there. He was focused on other things. Sophie is fixed, I am certain he is not. He does seem to have a thing for Cali girls. Hello spring. (And hello summer, since we have already had highs over 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Yuck.)
