Beyond a joke!
I woke fairly early and let the beasties out into the un-seasonal cool and went back to bed. I was happily reading when Sundance popped in with a gleeful jump and pounce and roll and jump. I saw one of his long tailed toys on the floor and in the gloom thought it was that he was playing with. Only very enthusiastically … too enthusiastically! Hmm…on investigation – Possum Tail. *urgh*
I’d heard that Powerful Owls had been seen back around the creek I live close to, and Powerful Owls are the natural predator to the Possum,ripping their heads off. ( I did once find a headless body of a Possum in my garden and wondered what on earth had done it…now I know!) So I figure that an owl has caught one of the local possums, and this was all that was left…except for the paw that Sunny brought in a bit later on in the day! *uuuurrrggghhh*
Seriously – this cat will happily self-cater. He did throw up later that night (in the bedroom…thanks very much!) so I wonder if he hadn’t helped himself to a bit of dead possum and it didn’t agree with him..
