Catching Flies
Dudo was on the den bed the other day. Usually, he looks at me when I call or simply comes running. I called his name. He just stared into space. I called again. Nothing. Then, he lowered his head slightly. And more staring. A flip to the right and up. More staring. That's when I realised a flying 'something' had caught his eye. It was a house fly. And he was clearly too lazy to do anything more than watch it.

Pretty Dudo!
ReplyDeletePretty colours too!
Has he ever caught one, Mitchell?
Jim:
DeleteHe catches them all the time. He can sit in one spot and wait for an hour or more.
I loved the post about the fans, and then ... The hotel post and the town view.... What a place! Wonderful! Of course, nothing can top the colorful photos of fly-watching Dudo :) my evening is complete:)
ReplyDeleteJudy:
DeleteI'd have more photos of Moose, but he usually turns his back on me when he sees the camera.
More cat photos, please!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteBe careful what you wish for!
When something catches my pussies' attention, as long as it remains in view, nothing but NOTHING will distract them. I think your Dudo has gotten wise to the fact that trying to catch a fly is almost always a futile waste of expended energy. Wise little fella!
ReplyDeleteRaybeard:
DeleteDudo is pretty amazing at fly-, mosquito-, and gnat-catching. But he choose his battles well.
I remember singing this song with my kids and laughing. My younger dog is like this when she is distracted.
ReplyDeleteLinda:
DeleteI have always loved this song. I used it once before on my blog, but a different version. Dudo is a great hunter. Extremely patient. I'm glad he's a house cat and we don't have mice. Moose sits on the terrace and stalks birds whenever he can, but he doesn't have Dudo's focus.
Well, it's a fly! It's not like it's even a real meal.
ReplyDeletePlus, he looks cozy on the bed so ..... Dudo has the right idea.
Bob:
DeleteI think Dudo would have been happy if I had caught it and given it to him.
Cats always know best!
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteThat's what they tell me (the cats, the mean).
LOL I haven't heard that ditty in a long time.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteOne of my old favourites.
