Cat Walk

Taking advantage of late afternoon sunshine, The Better Half and myself took a long walk around the neighbourhood.
Final Kitty Tally: 7 black and white, 1 ginger and white, 3 tortoiseshell. Zero tabbies.
Theory on the colour ratio / visibility of the local feline fraternity.
Gingers are super hunters, so the Jaffa cats were presumably taking a late afternoon nap before the night rat/rabbit/possum watch.
Tabby’s are duvet dwellers. With the recent freezing snap, they are probably hibernating beneath goose feathers.
Black and whites are the social bunnies of the cat world. If they can find a sunny patch on the frozen tundra, they will occupy it in order to have conversations with passers by (feline or human).
Torties / Calicos are the posers of the cat world. Three colours equals three times the attitude, they are aptly named “naughty torties” Of the three we spotted, one was staring into a woodpile, willing a mouse to emerge, the other two were chasing each other over a beautiful lawn.
We returned home to one black and white sumo cat soaking up the last remnant of watery sunshine, and Miss Tabby Tortie snoozing on the duvet, paws aloft. True to type.
