There is a beautiful cat in the neighbourhood. I don't recognise the breed, but it is quite majestic. I was admiring it through the window... until I realised that it was stalking the chipmunk.

For the past two or three days chipmunks on either side of the house have been "barking" to signal danger. Whenever I looked out there was nothing to see.

This morning this beautiful cat changed in my eyes from magnificent to predatory... he sealed his fate when, unable to reach my dear little friend, he sprayed his scent all over the chipmunk's favourite seat on the patio.

I hope the nimble little chippie long outwits this stealthy foe!

Today I am grateful for the speed and agility of the little creatures at risk.
