I thought they were gophers at first. I was wrong.
My cat went missing yesterday. She's still gone. She may be wandering the neighborhood. She is not an outdoor cat. At least not while I've had her. We got her from a Russian blue rescue. She was on the streets for a while. It took about 6 months before you could approach her. It took another 6 months for her to be my lap cuddling cat.
She was practically silent. In the last couple of weeks she started talking. She would come over to me and smack my face with her face and chirp and trill and point out the bug she wanted me to kill. Sigh.
So anyway I was wandering the neighborhood and realized that about 50 yards from my house there is an area of hard-packed dirt hills. and in those hills there are many many prairie dogs. And they were pissed at me.
They have the lookout that screams warning to everybody else and they all pop up and then pop down and then as I walk through the field they pop up about 10 yards away from me and scream at me.
