A little professional courtesy from the owl to the cat would have been nice! LOL The woman this happened to lives in New Mexico and has a bunch of horses. She told me the story of her cat because she had been complaining that the barn her horses live in is full of mice that she can't seem to get rid of. I noted that she had 8 horses, a burro, and 5 large dogs, but not one cat! One or two half-wild farm cats tossed in the barn would take care of the mice fast. No, she lamented, can't have a cat. See that TALL tree in the yard? A Great Horned Owl lives in it. He ate my cat and I had to watch him rip it apart....I can't deal with that again. No cat. :( -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-424-0897 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work!
