Well, just such a thing played itself out in my back yard Sunday evening: two of my cats stalked, and spooked, one of the four deer that were grazing in my back yard - closer than I have ever seen before (the closest was about 60 feet from the back door). I was able to get three poor but usable pictures and I made them into a web page: http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/041017/Cats_Stalking_Deer.html. LOL! Some cats just believe they are Big Cats. Here's my sister's cat Linus, driving away a young elk who came too close to our house on the island one summer. Very poor pictures, but they're scanned from poorish photos. I sometimes daydream about somehow setting up a scheme to provide good and even flash lighting over much of my back yard ... over about an acre. I miss so many potentially interesting pictures because it's too dark when the animals come and they are too far away to use flash from the house.

I've seen a couple of those commercials. They're funny. In the third photo, is the kitty that looks like it's 'going in for the kill' Ozy? Yes. Fleagor is the large gray longhair, and Ozy is the red tabby colorpoint shorthair. Their own pages are off my Country Cats page: http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/phase2.cats.html, but the best picture of Ozy is on http://gearbox.maem.umr.edu/tdavis/cats/03.jan/index.html, one of the misc. pages linked at the bottom of the Country Cats page. Now that I have discovered a web page editor that is very easy to use, works in my context where the pages are files on a drive, and generates code that's better than I do by hand, I expect to do better at organizing the pictures and keeping the pages updated.

Here's a sequence of 9 photos of Willie stalking a deer; this was posted to binaries 3 years ago - Willie was just having fun and the doe was pretty non-plussed about it. I've seen multipe cat/deer encounters and they seem mutually curious about each other. The only time I saw one upset it was when one of the deer ran off a feral that was hanging around, I assumed she could somehow tell the diference between a pet and a "wild" cat. http://community.webshots.com/album/26945460TwNkhOYIdg The funniest bit between cat and deer was when I was tossing bits of bread in front of a deer. Max, who was behind me, suddenly charged from between my legs and wolfed the bread: "This is *my* hoomin!". The deer just backed up a step but leaned forward to smell Max. Never saw him eat bread before or since. -- "The web has got me caught. I'd rather have the blues than what I've got." via Nat King Cole |
