Short Walk
Well, that was a mighty short walk.
I took my sweats off and got all dressed. I'm not one who can leave the house in sweats. Not gonna happen. I even put on a bra......I can hear my son.....TMI, Mom, TMI. (It's so much fun to embarrass the kids.) It's a bit chilly, at least compared to some of our recent days. And the wind is blowing a nice breeze. And I am getting over a bad cough and sore throat. So I got out a jacket, my house keys and the camera. With every intention of taking a nice long walk over on the river dyke.
But I'd only gotten to the end of the driveway when Baby kitten caught up with me. I gave her a belly rub and some sweet words and headed across the road to the park. I didn't get too far when I heard her little meow. Now I've walked with dogs in the past, but never a kitten. I knew if she followed me, I would have to cut my walk short. But she was determined. I figured I could pick her up and carry her home after a bit. She stayed with me all the way across the park and up the dyke. But then she stopped and the hair on her back, all the way from her nose to the tip of her tail, went up. I never saw hair on on the top of a cats tail go up before. She was making a lot of noise and looking up. I looked up too and there above us was a buzzard, making lazy little circles. Baby sat down and she wouldn't budge when I coaxed. She kept meowing to me and when I started with another step she started down the dyke. So I gave up and followed her home. Her hair stayed up till we crossed the road to our side. She seemed mighty proud of herself when we got back on home territory.
End of my Sunday walk. Next time I'll make sure she is inside the house when I start out.

She was obviously protecting her "momma" by making you get back inside before that big nasty bird got you. :-)
Our meezers get humongous big tails when frightened like that. Odd to see a pencil thin tail grow 5 sizes.
