One of my cats, Dreamer, sure spends a long time in the litter box scratching around after doing some real "downloading."

The other day I heard him in the next room rustling around in there a bit longer than usual. When he finished he entered my room and he was wearing a little beret and looking quite pleased. He meowed and pointed in the direction of the litter box.

So when I went in later to clean the box, here is what I found.

At least it is a happy face!

Favorite Movie Quotes: Highlander

"Why does the sun come up? Hmm? Or are the stars just pinholes in the curtain of night? Who knows? What I know is that because you were born different, men will fear you, try to drive you away, like the people of your village."

This mole is sure one busy animal. It is now as close to my back door as it can get. The cats enjoy using the molehills as outdoor litterboxes, but if they see a hill moving which indicates a mole is active they just sort of bat at the rising dirt in a quizzical way.

Back in the 1980s and early 1990s I had a cat named Ahab who was a superb mole catcher and would deliver them on the porch.

But, I'm no lawn nut, obviously. Most of it is moss anyway. I say, let nature take its course and truth to tell, this is pretty interesting. In my 19 years on this place, this is the first mole to venture here.
