That’s a sight I’d like to see. Although wouldn’t want a repeat at our house. Smokey Joe weighs 18 pounds. I think he could do quite a bit of damage.

I have never heard of crane flies.

Your kitty totally reminds me of my last cat, Lennix. He had no fear…would go riding on the roof of a car, if he happened to be sleeping there. He loved to be high up, as in a Gazebo, where he would watch and wait for someone to come by and then would launch himself at the hapless person. Every time, it seemed as if he howled with laughter at the discombobulation which resulted.

His life was lived as a great joke. I still miss this one cat.

Sarah — Tara seems to throw her whole self into whatever she does. She is if nothing else enthusiastic. If we tell her “NO!” she wants to know why not.

Eric — I know, as a child I was terrified of the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz. To think now I’m almost living with one. Gulp!

We also sometimes suspect she might have been a circus tiger in a past life. All the same, she has strange bewitching powers (as most cats do) and has captured our hearts.

“It’s almost like having a monkey on the premises. An eight-pound fur ball flying at you is no laughing matter.”

Oh no!! Flying monkeys are more terrifying than anything!!!

Seriously, I looked up crane flies and they are creepy. I mean to say, being creeped out can be as bad as being stung. I’m sure H.P. Lovecraft would agree.

As for Tara, she apparently is Siamese if you please or if you don’t please.

Goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of quite so enthusiastic an effort at bug-chasing. She seems to throw her whole self into it (literally), without a thought for where she’ll end up. What a cat indeed!
