I'm completely nuts. Our lovely cat has been belled so our lovely birds don't get eaten, so when I saw her playing in the grass, I had to be sure. It was a gopher!
I had never seen one...alive...before. Apparently, the cat hadn't either. I guess she brought it home to show me, because it was completely uninjured, just blindly nuzzling the lawn and occasionally threatening the cat with claws and teeth.
I thought they were bigger...it's only the size of a mouse. Maybe it's a mole? Sure looks gophery...but what am I basing that on? I scooped it into a watering can to show my daughter. Um, live and learn? So now "Fuzzy" is our guest for the weekend. I can't see killing it now that we've fed it dandelion, carrots, and cabbage, and heaven sakes given it a name, but I don't know where on earth to turn it loose either. Everywhere you look it's lawns and farmground, no place for a gopher with a name.
I can't believe I've gone this soft. Must have been in the sun too much today. :) Well, nature always has something to teach us. Darn cat. :)
We make a difference. |
