a happy tail

They say that you can tell when a cat is happy because it will walk with its tail straight up.    Well, if that is the case then Polly, the feral cat must be ecstatic because her tail is straight up.   

She has a little hook to the tail at its tip.   Kind of like a possum?    This is a sweet cat and follows me everywhere when I am outside in the yard.   Some feral cats are friendly and some aren't.   I try giving them cat treats from the grocery store so that they will be friendly towards me.   And by the way, the four feral cats from the same litter are all sisters.    Yep, all females.

            We got lucky and didn't get much from hurricane Irene here in Orlando.   But the hurricane season isn't over yet.   What do I dislike most about hurricanes?   The electric goes out and so no air conditioning.   Not even a fan.    My "hurricane plans" are real simple:   go to an air conditioned motel until the electric and central air comes back on at home.   Carpe diem.    Lew
