We can't have Geddy stealing all the limelight.

***Beans in Wildebeest dilemma conundrum***

Well, you can stuff your prisoners dilemma, because this the the Beans Wildebeest dilemma conundrum.
What happened between the point we actually got to go for a walk and when we did, was quite frankly, brutal and not really family viewing. So this post has been heavily redacted to the point even the now corrupt FBI leadership would be proud of. Stuff that in your soup Bondi/Blanche. I had my arm chewed and there was a tremendous fight and he ended up with not one, but two soggy ears.

Beans has watched his distant cousins in the Serengeti and on the great plains and in bush and jungle - and even in mountain ranges and frozen lands covered in snow and ice seeking their quarry. So logically, there must be wildlife on the prairie at the base of the col de la Smithy hill.
If Beans found a Thomson's Gazelle on the prairie, he could be a Cheetah or a Gerenuk; perhaps a Leopard, or a Llama perhaps a Puma, an Elk a Siberian Tiger and a Wildebeest; a Lion.
However, Beans is only a little chap and any illusions of grandeur would be tempered by the sheer size of these creatures in relation to him that if he did bump into a Wildebeest charging and snorting out of the ditch worth studying, he would probably wish he never did bump into one. And I am certain this was the crux of the matter, hence the very ponderous and hesitant start followed by deathly aggression and attempted mangling of my limbs.

But before the 18+ certified carnage and whilst we were sat there on the pondering rock, I got a shot of the pitiful sun next to the majestic look out post installed by Stormin' Normin' from Enniskillen,

I stole a march on the intrepid Beans mainly because I like my arms my arms and legs.

Then, just yards short of the ditch worth studying, Beans stopped and studied from a safe distance.

...and some considerable pondering followed to the point I was going to abandon him, Beans ventured West in determined mood.

...he ended up somewhere deep in the thicket next to the ditch worth studying. That somewhere is where I left him.

***Beans in non-chemical romance exclusive: big gossip shocker***

Beans jolly walk adventure with pictures suspended due to black and white hornless Bison on the prairie.

Late Saturday night, my daughter awoke to a cat mewing at the back of the house.
We both ventured out to find Beans on the driveway very near this cat and rather curiously, they were quite accepting of each other - as if she was not a stranger to him.
There are lost and found sections on Faceache and other social media locally and I trawled the pages but found nothing that fits the description nor photos.

Darling daughter persuaded me to feed her. She ate well but we had to keep our distance as she is pretty shy - not timid or skittish, just shy which gives me hope. Some strays never become - re-domesticated. For want of a better word.

I spent Sunday morning visiting/texting all 4 'neighbours. One of them who has recently moved in to an old farmhouse has seen the cat and is feeding her occasionally (leaving food for her in an out building) and has done for the last 2 months.

Late Sunday night was a repeat of Saturday night.

I have fed her these last 3 nights at roughly 11pm onwards. This seems to be the time she turns up. Last night was the most promising. I kept my distance whilst she ate and after that she didn't run away; we sat and just casually observed each other. I acted as nonchalant as possible but didn't approach her. A very pretty Tabby. She looks like she is not quite adult. Meanwhile, Beans was apoplectic - I could hear him mewing and scratching at the kitchen door as I had to shut him in. Well, she is chomping his food on his territory.

If this becomes routine and I cannot get her in, come holiday time in 3 weeks, i'm going to be in a fix. I think I might contact the cat sitter to make sure she's getting fed.
I have ordered edible wormer as she is ravenous. The only thing he's bothered about is his food getting chomped. Apart from that, you'd think they lived together.

All being well and light dependent, I shall take some pics of her tonight. Still no missing cat fitting her description in the smalls. She may be chipped, who knows.
