6:30am Standoff


Leaves rustled 


My kitty on alert, focussed


Barely a breath of wind


My book would have to wait


Two squirrels vying for the same branch


One scrambled higher


The other sat quietly and stared


At me?


At the black cat, hampered by a dumb leash,


desperately wanted to pounce.


Photo snapped, back to my book.


“Well, it may be humorous to you, 

but it’s a very serious matter to the squirrels.”

~ Lisa Kleypas, author


[and to the cat]
