Hummingcat

Jun
12

She is so patient.

This is a cat who can break in windows and even doors if she wants in the house and no one lets her in. She’s one of the smartest cats I’ve ever seen. If Spice used her powers for good, she could probably cure cancer.

She sits beneath this tree for hours. Other times she perches here, in a cleft in the trunk.

Still.

Absolutely still.

And patient, despite the fact that it is mostly a frustrating waste of her time and her rocket scientist-level mind.


Unfortunately, sometimes she accomplishes her goal and nabs a bird. That she can nab hummingbirds in mid-flight is a miracle. Bigger miracle–we saved this one.

Spice had this hummingbird in her mouth briefly and we got it away from her before she bit into it. Hopefully, it was okay. We let it go and it flew away.

Spice? She went right back to the tree.

My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
