What is it with all the cats around here? They scurry away every time I go out to the backyard for a refreshing ciggie. I have even tried luring them with goodies. There are not to many kitties on the planet who can resist Auntie Eddie with a slice of devon in one hand and a saucer of milk in the other.
There can only be one explanation. Our back garden is full of tasty wildlife treats. There is stumpy the blue tongued lizards mate, who’s torso became the unfortunate snack of one of the antisocial moggies…..what a grisly discovery that was! Then there is the menagerie of small australian marsupial mice things that live amongst the lavender bushes. Again…a rather disturbing discovery.
Thank god cats don’t hunt kangaroos, as there is a resident mob of them on the hill in front of our house. I love that we have kangaroos in our suburb. The joeys are so cute when you see their little heads poking out of the pouches. However….as you can imagine… it gets a bit hairy driving around here at night when they are roaming about. I realised with horror the other night that I scream like a man when a massive alpha male roo jumped in front of my car.
Oh the shame……lol
kangaroos,
