Description This is my cat, Bösä. 

- Look here Peter! I am hunting … sparrows … in water … YES! … BIG sparrows in water!

He gets a bit confused sometimes. He is a town cat in winter, but the summer he spends in the wilderness at the summer house. He loves it there, there's so much to do and explore … no traffic, no territory disputes with cats and dogs, peace and quiet … but a lot of nature and interesting things like giant sparrows in water!

He also gets to perform the oldest task of cats. Keeping rodents at bay. He is very proud of this task and comes and shows it to me when he gets one.

(He is of course not really hunting the swans. Merely curious. Swans are big and aggressive birds. They would scare the shit out of a cat if it was stupid enough to attack)

This...is a BEAUTIFUL picture!! I'm so glad you shared it with us! I love cats and I really like how he's peering over the rock but not tempted to hop over. Very nice on so many levels.

I hope your kitty didn't try to bite off more than he can chew.

No, he didn't. The small ones were no doubt tempting, but the big ones too scary
In the late evenings he can sit on a rock and stare out to sea for hours

Great pic, mate. And true, the poor cat has no chance against a swan.

Lynxander In reply to Roy3D [2014-07-15 17:46:10 +0000 UTC]

Yes it is. In summer we love to live in summer houses/cottages on lake or sea shores, or on islands

Haha ... his town-buddies are going to think he has been to the vet and is delirious from drugs

His confusion and uncertainty made him even more cute

Weighing the risk/reward options.
You'd like to snack on some bird, but there is water...hmmm
