Tansy

she thinks there's something in the tree, I couldn't see it.

I'll bet she's not one of those hypo-allergenic jobbies, huh? ;-) What a pretty kitty. I'm partial to black and white cats, because when I was about six we travelled to Scotland and my parents got me a book from some touristy place, and it was about this black and white cat. Funny the things we remember at that age! That and the black swans on the river.

She probably saw a tiny bug. Their eyes don't miss a thing.

How sweet! (But I can't see it either! ;-) )

Oh..Your Kitty name is Tansy. We in Idaho have a weed called "Tansy" and it runs rampant around here.

Awwww
My old cat Cleo once stared at a patch of dirt ALL day, from dawn to dusk...that dusk the ground broke and a mole started to appear.

She was verrrrry perseptive.

Maybe she's just looking at the tree.

Tansy is adorable..you know their hearing is so acute even a buzzing insect catches their interest!

Madcapmum, I think my two long haired cats could cause allergies for a five mile radius. I have two friends I have to do a 'super hoover and dust' for so they can come in the house without dying! I havent seen black swans.
Becky, it must've been small, I couldn't see it
Wildside, maybe she's just being cute for the camera
Peppylady, there's a herb here called Tansy, its probably the same as your weed, you can make tea from it.
Crunchy Carpets, I wonder if Cleo could hear the mole digging away down there all day, amazing patience.
Harold, she's possibly considering climbing the tree, I'm begining to wonder if she wasn't just doing it to get her photo on the internet.
Naturegirl, thankyou for all your kind comments, she does have good hearing, she can hear a cat biscuit falling to the floor from outside the house...

Your Tansy is so pretty. I love to watch cats, watching 'things'. They're ever curious.
I have tansy in the garden. It's a good filler, but invasive. I'll have to try making tea from it.
You'll find black swans in Australia. We have only white over here, unless they're imported from OZ (in the zoo, usually).

Love the library table! Hope your car does right by you! Have fun at your permaculture course.

Aw. She is EXACTLY the kind of cat I would have gotten if I had gotten a cat when I was a kid & my parents had finally decided that I could get a pet. Ended up getting a Shetland sheepdog instead. She was a wonderful dog & although she died years ago, my folks have a Sheltie of their own now.

Longhaired black & white cat was a decided possibility before the dog was decided on, though.

Bonnie, she is a nice cat, always up for a cuddle. I quite liked having the wee dog to stay for the weekend but not sure if I want one full time. I had a dog growing up though, big black labrador cross.
