No Rest for the Wicked or Evil Never Sleeps

These saws are not true, universally, or even always true on a more local scale. Nevertheless, they are sometimes true, somewhere, somehow. For example, this cat would normally be asleep. Yet here we espy a wide awake cat closely watching a thin chicken through the window.

All this is happening at the CB since the bird feeders got put up. Yes. All those birds gobbling up seed or what not have attracted the attention of many predators and not just cats or thin chickens. This morning, as Crumby fixed to sashay forth into the east pasture, he was almost smacked down by a red-shouldered hawk. The wing feathers of that dern bird liked to brush Crumby’s cheek. Yet Crumby was not particularly surprised or startled. That’s because the hawks; sharp-shinned, Cooper’s red-shouldered and red-tailed, sally about fixing to eat potential prey birds on a daily basis. Plus, the great horned owls wake Crumby up at night, hooting. Mercy!
