So it is about 93º outside, with full Kansas summer humidity. So what’s a boy to do – I know! I will take my kitty outside and chase him around the back yard with my cameras!
Mr. Bigglesworth and I made our usual rounds and I got some cute pictures of him, but then I decided that we need to explore where no poofy cat has gone before. Yes, that’s right – OUTSIDE THE FENCE.
Mr. Bigglesworth is having a wond-purr-full time sniffing everything and nibbling on the odd blade of grass. I tried to pose him in the crotch of a tree for a picture, but he was uncooperative with that effort. I sat down and just kept an eye on him for a while. Then he decided to get all adventurous and keep going into the neighbors back yard. After a few times of playing “watch the human try to catch me” I decided it was time to move back into the fenced in area, so I could worry less about him trying to escape. With Lee out of town I wasn’t sure if I could find him if he got lost.
So back into the fenced in area, I’m relaxing taking pictures and probably getting some chiggers. Not more than two minutes has passed by when I hear the woosh of a sliding door, a woman yelling then WOOF WOOF. A 130lb Great Dane and her German shepherd companion have RUN into my unfenced portion where my 12lb poofy orange cat and I had previously occupied.
Then my maternal instincts kick in, I cast off my photo gear and LUNGE for my cat. You see, this Great Dane is standing at the GATE between fenced and un-fenced back yard and hanging her head OVER it. Mr. Bigglesworth was even MORE poofy and he must have hopped about 4 feet straight in the air. He landed back arched, pupils dilated with that look of “OMG OMG OMG” on his face.
This was the first time he never complained about being taken inside

I bet that look on his face was priceless… Now that was a Kodak moment!

It was just too bad I was busy trying to keep him from being eaten or I could have had a fantastic picture of him
