Tail swishing
back and forth
she waits to spring
upon the unsuspecting prey
foiled by a latch she cannot reach
and could not open if even she did.

Thanks for connecting, Chris!
Wonderful choice for the challenge!
Thanks, Sandy! That’s a “live” photo and when I press on it the tail swishes back and forth!
A wonderful capture Shielagh! :o) xxx
Thank you so much, Xenia! She’s such fun, today was swishing her tail at a Slate-colored Dark-eyed Junco on our deck. What joie de vivre!
Haha, wonderful! Please give her a big pat from us and lots of love to you all :o) xxx
I will indeed! Pats to the sweet pups, too! Pets are such calm company usually. We are very worried about our home on SW Florida right now, in the path of the most powerful hurricane expected to hit the US. She’s just napping in my husband’s recliner.
Praying you all stay safe Shielagh. Animals are always the first to know when storms are coming and if she is relaxed and napping that is a good sign 💜 xxx
Well, I know, but we are 1380 miles north in the mountains of NE Pennsylvania, so I doubt she’s getting the vibe, other than that her mommy and daddy are anxious about their winter home! In SW Florida, nurse sharks, moray eels and dolphins came very close in to the shore down there yesterday. Thank you so much for your good wishes. 😻
My Daisy lady!!!! 🙂 Love this photo (and of course, love Daisy!)
She’s such a dear. Thanks for your comment! She can’t wait to dig around in your suitcase!
xoxo
Nice response to the challenge!
Thank you! I took that in Naples in the early spring. Hoping that lovely view and the home itself survive Irma!
I certainly hope so, the reports I am hearing for that area are pretty alarming.
Lovely! Cats are always curious!
And she surely is that!

Indeed, and the swishing tale is a great wminder! You should hear her chatter at birds 🦉and houseflies, and she stalks and “points” at spiders. 🕷
Nice PIC!!!
