After the Drizzle...

Bujang spent 45 minutes outside looking around him nervously as there were more people than usual downstairs...

Then he decided to sniff the interesting smells around _all_ the corners of the stone pillars...

leaving no drains uninspected!

I also got a close-up of this lone pigeon. His wing seemed to have healed but he sometimes drag it slightly. He is always alone. Yesterday he was the only one out.

Catch the Birdies!

Just you wait birdies! Just you wait!

Since I am on a roll with uploading the videos on the office computer, thought I would upload all 3 at once as I took them yesterday when we had our walk. I did not manage to catch his 1st try at running after the pigeons but this is his second try. I do not think he means it very much as he stopped when he was about 2 feet from the nearest pigeon and watched it fly off. Then he meowed a small warning before the grass caught his attention :) The pigeons took him seriously this time though and did not try to rain on his parade.

Cat Among the Pigeons

The pigeons were just laying on the grass resting...

They just ignored Bujang and one came very near us...

Bujang seemed content just to watch them strut by....

I wondered if he knew what he was supposed to do.
He did not even chatter. He was more bored than anything.

Bujang watching very bold pigeons.
"I am not scared of you scaredy cat," the pigeons seemed to say.

I brought Bujang downstairs so he could take a walk, which he used to love. But the morning was hot and Bujang does not like the sun nor the dark. He also does not like water under his feet so I do not bring him downstairs immediately after rain. I thought he would like walking and looking at pigeons and the like but NO! He just sat in his carrier and looked at the pigeons like a bored talent scout. He followed their movements with his eyes and head and did not even chatter. So i decided to bndle him up and bring him to his fav park. I hoped that there, he would get out and take a walk.

A Very Short Tale

Once a great hunter decided to hunt for his tribe..."What's that?" he said. "Come here Totoro, my 2nd-in-command. Tell me what you see."

And then there were 2 hunters, looking at winged meat on 2 legs. "They're what is called pigeons. I had heard that they are good to eat...if we can only catch them." The 2nd-in-command liked nothing better than to sit and dream of soft breezes and was not all that eager to be jumping across winds to catch flying birds. "We could fall into the great abyss," he thought.

Out of nowhere a third hunter appeared like a great spirit. He was gold and his fur shimmered in the sun(of san's camera). He too stared at the feathered creatures but he knew they would never be able to get them. The feathered birds were like dreams on clouds and they would never be able to cross the great abyss. He knew because err...he was wise beyond his years...

So he told his furred brothers, "Bruffers, let me give you some advice. I am the great sun spirit (see my golden fur) and I was sent here to tell you that if we catch them, we will never be able to dream these wonderful dreams again when we look across the great abyss. Surely you would like to see the feathered creatures rather than those monster things on wheels that never seem to go anywhere..." His bruffers agreed as they knew he was a great spirit (since he told them) and it would be better to believe great spirits. Who knows what may happen if they decided to push him into the abyss. (They are very wise bruffers too )

and so the pigeon-hunters spent their time...

just looking wistfully at the lovely fat pigeons...

that were hanging out on someone's parapet...

and thinking about juicy pigeon pies that they will never have...c'est la vie..

The End
