I used to amuse myself by sitting on the garden wall overlooking the park, watching the Humans cavorting about with balls, or walking their dogs. Like Humans, dogs do like to chase about mindlessly after balls! We cat persons can do this too when we feel like it, but we prefer to sit and contemplate […]
Tuti’s Blog #7 – Mice
