“TLC Cai-Cai, what are you doing?” Mom asked me in a puzzled voice.
Hunting, I mentally thought to her. She didn’t hear me or understand…humans just don’t get animal speak, sometimes.
So, I just went on doing what I am doing. Although, I did keep one ear and one eye on Mom so I would know what she was wanting. 😊
“You are nine months old, now, my Kitty-Kitty. Mom said, walking behind me with her camera. “Just to warn you; Fall is coming. Soon you will see leaves and leaves all over the lawn, the grass will stop being green and the air will cool way down.
But this is all good. It’s just part of the changing of the seasons.”
I jumped up into the air, quickly running off…I missed. But I will get it the next time. It can be anything…
bird (of course, not if Mom is around, lizard, or grasshopper.
Mom tries to stop me on bird and lizard, but she lets me get the grasshoppers.)
“Soon we will start having more and more Fall rains (we hope, Mom muttered to herself), and the air will get very crisp and down-right cold in the mornings.” Mom kept pace with me while I hunted.
That’s okay…I like getting my photo taken. Mom says I am very photogenetic. Preen, Preen 😊
POW!
DID IT!!
I got a grasshopper!
SEE Mom! A GRASSHOPPER!
“Nice, TLC Cai-Cai! I think your mind is on other things today. We will continue teaching you about Farm Life another time.
Mom gave me a nice pet and rub on my head, turned around, and went back into the house.
I played with the grasshopper until he wouldn’t move anymore. Then it was time to go HUNTING again!

But did you eat the grasshopper, CC? Or just play with it? Once I saw a spider. I jumped up and down like a popcorn. But I didn’t touch it. #worsthunterever

They taste nasty if you get the brown stuff in your mouth, otherwise pretty okay. TLC Cai-Cai

what a wonderfully neat siamesey-looking (tho’ sumwhut long-hared) cat — we’ve got a 2-year-old (or young?) we still call “kitten” — but this one is definitely hitting the life-long cat-path at an early age, and i hope it lasts for seems like 4-ever ~

I understand that hope and wish. FOR 20 years for sure!

My young Gracie has been bringing home mice pretty frequently the past couple of weeks. Maybe they’re getting restless, feeling the weather change. I would prefer grasshoppers, but I respect her judgement.

I think the mice are getting the urge to come to warmer places now.
