Last night this little fellow – actually in the eyes of the Longhair and her apprentice this little fellow assumes the proportions of a giant – sleathily appeared on my desk scaring the living daylights out of me.
I gently scooped him into a dustpan and tossed him into the rose garden – I could hear the tips of his legs scraping against the pan as he tried to scrabble up and out, not as cringeworthy as nails on a blackboard but getting close!
This morning Clive appeared once again on our porch railings – that man about town glint in his eye as he knowingly stared at the Longhair nervously drinking her coffee.
Clive is one creepy fellow who just may be taken by the pigeon that visits later to eat the left over cat food. Time will tell.
