Feline Barn Games
This morning, while I was cleaning manure out of our dry lot in front of the barn I was treated to a hilarious kitty game. It seems that our frisky TomTom loves to burrow in piles of hay that are put out for the horses.
At one point, TomTom had just burrowed under a pile of hay, when a couple of the horses headed for that particular pile. Upon reaching the hay, they stuck their noses down and opened their mouths for a nibble. Just at that moment, TomTom sprang out of the hay obviously startled by the horses' presence. At the same time, the horses were quite startled and jumped for fear at the sight of a tiny orange tiger leaping out of their breakfast.
