Stand off

Some of you have heard of the existence of a second cat in our household. She seldom makes an appearance, being so skittish and afraid of the dogs and the wind and anything that moves, really. Despite her size (she is humongous right now, the biggest she's ever been, from spending the winter eating and hiding) she has become quite the sneaky little (big!) thing, squeezing her way through the cat hole in the door to the basement and tip-toeing her way up the stairs. Then, when dinner time rings and she attempts to make her way down again, a fatal mistake - Kahluna hears her, and she's stuck. She's stuck on the stairs, wary of the dog lying in wait, but drawn by the smells and sounds of dinner.



Notice the dog pretending to be distracted and looking away. But Ti-Mine knows it is just a ruse, and the moment she steps too close, the chase will be on.
