Look at the Pretty Kitty!

This is a kitty.

On most days, he's a bundle of love and joy

(unless you are another male cat)

 Pet him, 

let him sit on your lap.

This is NOT a pretty kitty.

Beware!

When my daughter was small, still in diapers,

we took the pop up camper to a local lake .

As we were walking across the campground around dusk

my daughter called out, 

"Look at the pretty kitty!"

 and tried to run after it.

OH OH. 

Not a pretty kitty! 

A skunk!

That's our long standing joke

but lately it's been coming back to haunt us, 

double trouble in fact.

Now the pretty little (limping) skunk has a beau

and he too comes to eat and drink the cats' leftovers.

My poor husband has to use the basement door 

more than ever when it's time to put up the chicks.

My husband is funny too.

When the new one showed up he told me to be careful

That's not OUR skunk!

I guess babies are probably on the horizon!
