It has been a peaceful uneventful day – the best kind, in my opinion. I hate drama of any kind.
And it all started with a duck…. Penthesilea to be precise. She was sitting happily on the side of our pond when I walked past taking the dogs out for their post-supper afternoon stroll.
We had gone across the hill to Clothie, my 5 acre croft.
Monster followed us, just slowly. Very slowly. Whingeing with every step. We all knew about his arrival. We could hear it.
A cat on a mission.
And, look, real life action!
I particularly love this photo.
You didn’t think Monster could do that, did you?
In heraldry, this is known as felis rampant.
(Or, ew, ew, ew…… a ditch!)
And then on our way home, Monster met Penthesilea. I told you it started with a duck. She had been waiting for us to come home again.

How absolutely lovely!
Wow! I love all animals, but cats perhaps especially. have n ever seen your lovely Monster in full flight before; very much the hunter. Lovely duck too. Enjoy.
it has been a lovely day here. sunny weather but not too hot, horses and ponies, lots of ice cream and now this charming post.
Monster is incredible in motion!!
Fantastic pictures of Monster in action, wow! So he does do more than lay around and be a couch potato. Good for him!
Just amazing pictures…..I love them all! So glad nobody chased the duck! 🙂
Delightful!
Are the ducks too big for Monster to prey upon? Or has he been scolded for licking his chops at their direction?
he is not interested. never has been. too cool for ducks
