And finally: You Saw it, Didn’t You?
Oh yeah, Amy F., I definitely saw… it… whatever it was.
Kitty has a lot to say!!! But seems a little spooked, though. Whatever he/she saw, he/she did not approve.
“Oh, God, that was AWFUL! I’ll have to turn round clockwise to dispel the bad luck!”
I’ve only seen my cat make that sound when she’s watching birds and squirrels. Isn’t there a special word for that?
Chittering.
I love that word because it sounds like an English place name.
Chittering-by-the-Sea. Chittering-in-the-Marshes. Upper, Middle and Nether Chittering.
There are at least two Chitterings in the world. 😉

That’s the one. Thank you!
Those leaf mandalas are amazing. If you scroll up and down some of them seem to move!
Makes me want to break out my adult coloring books and pencils again.
I’ve seen a photo of the two cats in the video before. I could be completely wrong but if I remember the story correctly they are not related they just happened to look alike.
The only thing that could improve on the nature art is to video them as they interact with weather or animals over time. Amazing.
Dogs’ gaze is where their souls are.
All good links Mike.
There’s another fellow who does something similar – I always forget his name!!! – but he works even with sheets of naturally formed ice – all sorts of ephemeral bits and pieces – I’ll have to try and find out more about him. And there’s another guy who works mostly with twigs and branches – he makes these sort of dwellings and strange forest-y habitats that just fall apart over time.Very cool – I love these constructions – the leaves are gorgeous – and the patience to sort them by size and color and arrange them! I love crazy people.
Murray C., that’s Andy Goldsworthy! The documentary about his work, “Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time” is stunningly beautiful and peaceful. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it. 🙂
Mandalas, kitties inventing stuff, poor little tripod kitty who won in the end – all wonderful! I did especially love doggo #7 – two very pink upright ears and an even pinker downward doggie tongue.
