Every winter, for 16 years in this house, there has been a cat following this route from wherever to wherever. They cross in front of the porch from left to right and then wend their way down the driveway. They do this is summer too, but their pussy toes leave no evidential trace then. We have to be in the right place at the right time to spot them in summer, but it does happen.
I wonder how many cats have made this their habitual path. It always seems to be just one at a time, and we know that the first one, who belonged to a neighbour, has long since departed for the great tuna dish in the sky.
And that is the whole post for this Caturday. Have a good weekend.
Cat prints are interesting because they often step in their own tracks, much neater than some animals.
ReplyDeleteSnow! How lovely to think of that cat's journey from ... to wherever. :-)
ReplyDeleteExcellent caturday post...surprised this guy doesn't put hind paws in same place as front paws...a bit sloppy of him/her!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if there's a network of paths known only to cats. Ants have highways, so why not.
ReplyDeleteHumans are not the only ones to be creatures of habit. We see footprints around here too. I wonder whether when we moved in we upset the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI love these clues we find in the fresh snow.
ReplyDeleteI know the neighbours black cats prowl around here, but we rarely see them in the dark.
I much prefer house cats to those who terrorize the local birds.
ReplyDeleteThose are cute cat prints in the snow! Mari likes to drink out of the sink, then walk around on the carpet and hardwood floor. Wet rug and little wet paw prints on the wood=not my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou at least are able to post a picture. Many others who use blogger find themselves with grey boxes.
ReplyDeleteCats are creatures of habit.
ReplyDeleteAbner our cat is pretty snobby. He doesn't head out in snow much.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
We have tons of feral cats in our neighborhood but since we don't have snow, we don't have footprints, only poop to show they've been here.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
I tracked our feral one, finally, in the snow. I love tracking.
ReplyDeleteWe have fisher tracks circling our house this morning in the fresh dusting of snow.
ReplyDeleteNow can the cats evokes curiosity, even though curiosity can kill the cat
