Entry FeedCats are brilliant predators, but sometimes I am reminded that it is all instinct, not brain power.
Merlin is a incredibly skilled hunter - even at his age. Weekly we find birds and mice in the yard (who knew that there were mice in Toronto?). His brother Blarney, RIP, was a savage butterfly hunter. Yes, I think cats are a little crazy.
I just caught Merlin hiding in our neighbours' front garden. Gee, can you spot the cat in this picture?
He is like a kid playing peek-a-boo! As long as they can't see you, you can't see them! Merlin's face may be behind some bushes, but I guess he doesn't realize that at 15 pounds, there is a lot more that he needs to hide! Either that, or our neighbours have cut back their garden a little too much for his liking this spring.
This is the look I got when he realized that he had been discovered... Oh yes, vicious cat, I am so scared.
