Daily Sketch Reprise: A Tiny Moth, 2015
We’ve had an outbreak of tiny little moths in the house that flutter and don’t seem to get anywhere, they hover in the air and would seem easy to catch, but they are frustratingly elusive. This has proved to be an important catification exercise in stalking, leaping pouncing, and running up and down the steps. This particular tiny moth was actually on the wall in the tub, and was out of reach of even Giuseppe as he stretched his full length, standing on his toes.
Sometimes I see them staring intently at apparently nothing that is apparently in mid-air. It generally turns out to be one of these little moths. I have been known to give a moth a little nudge so it leaves its perch and gets the felines all a-flutter all over again. I think they are grain moths of some sort and seem to have come from a sack of bird seed.

Healthy Competition, 2013
Mr. Sunshine is ready to go in for the kill of the wine cork but Giuseppe has been watching around the corner and the plot may come to a quick change. I’m so glad they finally did something interesting today. Of course, I was not terribly interesting myself, if you ask my feline roommates, it was such a gloomy Monday.
