It's raining hard & steady right now.
Cloaking the house in an echoing shroud of noise.
There is so much water at this point, that it makes as much noise hitting the puddles as the skylites.
Normally .... the cats would be huddled near the patio slider, or in the front window, but tonight- they skulk about the living room.
sniffing
crouched low to the floor
cautious
sniffing some more
Something moves, and they freeze, almost in mid air.
a moan escapes.
Then the silence closes in as the rain quiets .... and the cats move stealthily (?) about the room.
circling
closing in.
and there .... in a pile of billowing pillows and fluffy covers lies the beast they seek.
ever closer they creep, til they are upon the blanket.
so near they can feel her breath upon their fur.
upright, & tip toeing past her now .... they have decided she is no threat to them.
She yawns in her sleep and they scatter in a panic.
brave cats.
NOT
