Wildcat Kelley

Just the other day, I found myself walking around my house and checking out all of my flowers. I went along the side of my house and started around the bend to my backyard. I turned the corner and took a few steps, looked up and met eyes with Kelley. [Kelley has been showing up around my house for a few weeks now and he brings his friends whenever we are grilling and or eating outside.] Usually he dances off into the bushes and watches when someone comes near him, but this time he froze mid-step, and was just looking at me. We stood there for a while- I don't know how long we had our eyes locked... It was the almost uncomfortable- but after a few moments of staring, I turned on my camera [which was hanging on my wrist-as usual...] and took a few pictures of him.

Its almost as if he believed he was invisible. And looking at his eyes in the picture, he looks as if he stumbled into some of this at some point in time... Thus giving him the power to... Um... Stay very still with very crazy eyes...?

After about three pictures, I expected him to have been long gone when I was done looking at them, but I looked up and the only movement he had made was putting his front paw down on the ground- he was still staring! So I set up to take some more pictures when my friend came outside, letting the screen door slam behind him. It scared poor Kelley half to death- making him jump up and dash for the bushes.

I haven't seen Kelley around - I guess it's because we haven't had any food outside lately. At least I hope that's the case...

Oh and BTW, just in case anyone was wondering, when I saw Kelley for the first few times, I decided to name him Kelley after the 'cat' in Ella's song, Don't Fence Me In. Now how do I know this song? It was the song I chose for my "big performance" in 10th grade while in my 'Jazz Vocal' class. I might share a bit about that another day... Good times ^_^
