Frank, Mighty Hunter

Here's our cat Frank trying to get his arch enemy Red Pants the Squirrel. (I call him that because he's losing his reddish winter coat, from the top down, so he looks like he has on red balloon pants. It doesn't show so well in the picture, but.......)

You can see Frank hiding behind the hostas to the right. Don't worry--although this scene looks bad for Red Pants, he's in little danger. Frank is a typical domestic cat--chubby, slow, and a woefully poor hunter. He's outside a good part of each day on his leash, and has never been able to cause a scare in the squirrel community. In fact, I suspect they tease him, as Red Pants appears to be doing here. It's all good, because for Frank, all the fun is in the chase. If he ever caught a squirrel, I think he'd faint!
