Awwww... :) I have a cat who does that all the time :))))) By the way he washes himself afterwards I think he's trying to suggest that he was aerodynamically challenged by dirt... I'm not buying it :) |

I can't +1 the raccoon story because the raccoon was most likely In my personal case, no apology necessary. Sad but true, what Chris S said. ~Sue~ |

I'm not sure raccoons run real good. Indeed, they can run quite well, even with paws full of stolen food! (I have to confess that I crack up every time I watch this gif.) ~Sue~ |

Kitten update from Suzie-Q's House of Cats: One of the kittens I rescued has turned out to be deaf. For that reason I have located a person who is willing to take in a "special need" kitten and keep her indoors while caring for her medical needs (vaccination and spay). This woman has a couple other special needs cats, so she's a good choice, imho. I still have the other two. Still need to have them vaccinated and spayed on or around the beginning of November. They'll be five months old at that point. Today I saw four tiny kittens on my front porch eating the cat food I put out for the feral cats. No sign of mama cat. I'm trying to decide what to do. I have three choices: 1. Ignore them and "let nature take its course." 2. "Rescue" them. That will mean I'll need more money to care for them, first to rid them of the eye goop problem they have and then to vaccinate and spay/ neuter them. (It seems all of the kittens born to this feral colony have the eye problem.) 3. Gather them up and hand them over to Animal control, where they will surely be euthanized (because they're sick). It's amazing how much I let this sort of thing bother me. Sometimes I wish I had a very hard heart so that I just wouldn't care. ~Sue~ |

I'm not sure raccoons run real good. Raccoons run very well, usually on all fours though. They are extraordinary climbers, but poor jumpers as Es's video illustrates. Those kittens sure are cute, Suzie-Q! Sorry to hear that there are more. |

I'm not sure raccoons run real good. Actually, that was only one kitten, the deaf one. I just took several photos of her sleeping on the TV remote from different angles. The sad thing is that there will always be more. ~Sue~ |

:) Wonder why the cats looks surprised? My girlfriend was afraid of cats before. Mayby because when she was a Child she met a wild Lynx in the forest. Anyway she had a cat once who got 6 kittens. The cats Always stayed away from her. Even at dinnertime. All cats waited quitely until the catmother nodded 'Dinners served' Swedish Lynx. |

1 of the regular visitors of my front garden. Though he or she is a little camera shy. Then there's the locals who hang out down behind the tennis courts near the river. These are definitely not shy at all. Cheers. |
