Quite, Andrew. Many tricks she'd try. But it was the first time that I saw her pretending to be an apple. :)
Claudia, well, not necessarily. You know Aesop's fable of the frog and the scorpion? A scorpion asks a frog to give him a ride across a river. Says the frog: 'Ha, never. I don't wish to end with a sting in my back." Says the scorpion: "Don't be silly. If I did so I had to die myself, as I can't swim." Frog: "And how do I know you won't wait till we get to the other side?" Scorpion: "It wouldn't be fair to show you my gratitude by rewarding you with death, wouldn't it?" Thus the frog agrees, and ... halfway across the river feels a sting in his back. "You fool! Forgotten what you promised? Now both we shall die! Why on earth did you do that?" Says the scorpion: "I know it's stupid. And I am sorry. But that's my nature."
Knatolee, indeed. If I understood her correctly, she was purring 'Come on girls. Don't you see I am an apple? An apple I am.'
Jams, fortunately the birds so far have been too clever for Pyrthe.
Susan, ha ha ha, now that might become the next trick in her repertoire. :)

ReplyDeleteHa ha. You just have to love cats (evil ba$t@rds! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough life... Survival of the fittest?
ReplyDeleteOooh! Naughty kitty!!
ReplyDeleteAh the old appletrap - with a hungry cat at the bottom! Bye, bye Blackbird!
ReplyDeleteI'd have loved to see the cat running out of the kitchen carrying the apple for his trap.
ReplyDeleteCherryPie,
ReplyDeletethat's what I thought, too. :)
