and she took an uncommon interest in this object lying on the driveway:
This is an Ermine, I think. Tail-length may indicate that it's a Long-tailed Weasel, but rigor had set in so I couldn't bend it around to check. Both species are very fast, lethel hunters and highly aggressive to larger animals and have been known to back-down coyotes and wolverines -- so one of my cats catching and killing one is pretty amazing!
Of course, they smell bad and taste even worse to a cat, so little wonder it was left to die where it was.
That's life down here on the farm on the first full day of summer. How's the world treating you and yours?
