So you’ve seen pictures of Brownie He’s a big lad Actually I think hes about the size of a small brown Fox! But anyway we have a great connection. I see it differently; I see them as little healers. I try to look after them the best they can I try to be grateful to them for the energetic work they do. So anyway I get them the best food I can and thought long and hard about leaving them here when I moved It wasn’t an easy decision and it regularly breaks my heart cause I miss them so much when I’m away. And I know they miss me as well especially Brownie. He’s a bit of a naughty boy but hes my naughty boy. We’ve had the chat about hunting after a robin died in my hands last summer, me giving it reiki the poor divil. Now he only goes hunting when he’s not happy with the food Or I wasn’t sure recently he might have been bringing me gifts. This day anyway I guess weekend he caught 3 birds and a Bunny rabbit The 1st 2 birds were goners. Amazingly the Bunny rabbit was unharmed. believe it or not the little fella was not even shocked: normally when you try to rescue a little creature from a cat They’re shaking from the head to toe and their little hearts are going so fast from pure fear you’d think they’d just stop beating from the terror. This little fella wasn’t even, I don’t know if he was in such a full shock That he just wasn’t even but he just sat there unfazed. I picked him up – he wasn’t even physically harmed. It was like as if Brownie just brought him over to play with. The other 2 cats were coming over to have a look as well Dad saw them from the window. He told me and I went out over to them and I realised it was a rabbit; a baby rabbit – tiny – he fit in my 2 hands. I just put him beside my heart and told him you’re safe now little fella I’m going to get you home. I just told Brownie to go away and gently pushed him away and the other cats were just watching I picked him up and then walked down the road with him. I sat down on the grass verge And I talked to him calmly, little bunny in my arms; and cuddled him gently. And then I told him he was free. A car came and he could hear it coming for ages before it did, so he scampered and hid under my cardigan in behind me like the way a kitten would. The little creature, he was a dote. Anyway then I said you haven’t bought it now you’re free you can go back home. He just scampered off and went into the hedge. And that was the end of that. Actually the next day I was able to save a bird – poor soul he flew into the oil tank as he was trying to escape; Brownie chased him down the garden then but I think he got away. Yesterday a bird again but outside the side gate you had to step over him. I don’t know whether he fell – He might have crashed into the gate. He was perfect though just one of his little legs was bent underneath. But normally Brownie will eat his prey and parade it around. Queenie was the only one around but when I showed her she didn’t want to know. So I don’t know if one of the cats killed him or not.
Middle – Queen of the Oil tank
La Pequenita Queenie tita.
Slightly unkempt lawn of an early summer’s eve;
Three cats splayed
Tomp Cat in sometimes shade, sometimes sun
Mr Henchman threatening spreadeagled, Fry’s creme fur belly out in full force sun
Crouch and stare, crouch and stare;
Her Haughtiness hidden below eye level -Total silent awareness
Meanwhile Birds call the close of day
Strong northern sun doing its bit for frozen shoulders;
And the poet, accepting inspiration, and the odd mouth furred caressing claim.
Credit to the Legendary Colm who was also moved by the inspirational moment to take these last two photos.
Salem and Nikki came to stay over Christmas.
Two beautiful Egyptian Queen sisters. Nikki the pirate. Salem the climber/explorer.
I had to say goodbye to these beautiful Queens today. I didn’t realise how hard it would be. Nikki really chose me. She hid when her new family came. Salem was eager to meet them. There were tears. Lots of tears.
