1- put the towel completely over the head

What is the draw to Kayaking? Too much risk involved, especially if they knew what lives there. Nature lovers. I wonder how loving they would be to come face to face with Alli? I'll stand of firm ground.

My little outside stray cat buddy turns out to be a girl!
We call her Hemingway becasue she has extra toes, big ol thumbs to be precise., (Polydactyl)
She comes by every morning about 4-5am for breakfast. She's learned I often sit in the carport for a smoke with my coffee, so she's learned to come there and lead me to the back porch where the food bowl is. I'm usually up about 5 but if I sleep in she'll meow and walk back and forth at the back door, I think she knows this makes my phone ding
So, wait - that cat, that isn't yours, has you trained to respond to it's calls for feeding at 5am? And then it probably goes home for it's owner's feeding for it? So many quips to be made here, that I will abstain. Too easy.
I get that. I put out cameras to monitor rodent activity and have found unexpected enjoyment seeing my various four legged neighbors doing their thing in the dark.
