Wordless Wednesday At Create With Joy
When Tsunami was a young kitten,
One of his favorite pastimes was
Stalking imaginary prey in our kitchen!
I often wondered what ran through his mind
During these special playtimes.
Perhaps he envisioned a world such as this?
Imagine you are a wild lion –
The King Of The Jungle –
The Lion King Himself –
Living in the heart of the Serengeti.
You are sunning in a grassy woodland
When you spot him:
A lone gazelle,
Drinking at a nearby watering hole
Unaware that danger is lurking nearby -
Unaware of his role in the Circle Of Life.
Quietly, stealthily, you slink to the ground,
Belly flattened,
Nose to the wind,
Whiskers quivering in excitement,
As you crawl,
Inch by inch,
Paw by paw,
On flattened belly,
Through the cover of grass,
Towards your unwitting victim.
Pray, prey, pray!
A storm is on the loose.
A Tsunami is on the horizon!
James Mason aptly observed that:
Cats do not have to be shown how to have a good time,
For they are unfailing ingenious in that respect.
There are few things more pleasurable in life
Than watching a kitten at play!

What an absolutely ADORABLE cat! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful photo of him!
Oh how I use to chuckle when our cat would run around the house pretending someone or something was chasing her! I sometimes wonders if we had ghosts!
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
You know, I often wonder if cats see things that we just don’t!
I always enjoy seeing him in pics
Thank you for hosting WW with a linky, I have a linky on mine as well

Thanks Lily – have a great day!
Such a great photo! Sometimes I’ll hear my cat giving a few wild cries….when I check her out she’s usually killing one of my hairbands or something silly that she found laying around
Twitter: CreateWithJoy1
says:
ISn’t it amazing when their wild instincts take over – and how we respond to their cries?
Have an awesome week Debra!
Thanks so much for the linky

It is pretty natural for them to be this way. It’s cool you got a great shot!

Love watching them play – have a great week ALissa!
I think that is too cute. My puppy stalks imaginary things under my bed. I have no idea what she is looking for, but I hope she finds it.

I totally agree with you! I LOVE your poem! You’ve truly captured a cat’s ‘kittiness’…or should I say ‘lion-ess’! Thanks for hosting.

Hubby is back from his Mom’s in Texas. He was helping her out as her husband had just had an operation. Now that he’s back, and it’s not all on my shoulders…I have more energy and will get back to regular posting. Thanks for your kind comment earlier on my blog.

Oh, I just love all those tuffs of fur! Great job stalking there Tsunami…I’m thinking your home must be mouse free with all Tsunami’s “practice”.

Our house is definitely mouse free – at least the live kind!

How adorable!!! What a fun cat.
Thanks for hosting! I always wonder what Tsunami will be up to each week.
I shared some photos from planting our seeds. One of our cats was up on the table wanting to help.

I thought our cats did some weird things, but nothing like this! LOL! What a cutie, and love the name.
She’s lovely
So cute!
My cats kinda freak me out when they stalk things that are not there (or that I just can’t see)…

What a cute picture – there’s a real “hunter”-look in Tsunami’s eyes!

Cats are hilarious! Our kitty we had years ago would keep us entertained stalking something unbeknownst to us and she absolutely loved paper bags. The curiosity of cat is fun to watch.
Thanks for hosting another week of #WW fun!

says:
Thanks Cathy – yes, I’ve enjoyed many past years of entertainment watching cats and paper bags – not so much any more in these days of green environment!

I have often wondered what pets are thinking when they are at play. Too bad they can’t tell us what’s on their mind.

You’d be surprised how much they DO communicate if you pay close attention to them!
