Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006On the doorstep
Fed Waffles and she's meowed to go outside. So I open the front door and what do we find sitting right in the middle of the doorstep? A huge green frog. Froggie is perfectly at ease, just sitting there... staring...Waffles sniffs Froggie, and Froggie is not bothered. Neither is Waffles who runs off to her spot in the garden where she 'performs'. As Froggie is located in an accidental squash zone from the feet of the local postie, I pick up Froggie, who just sits in my hand and stares at me and I put him in the damp undergrowth in the garden at the back of the house. Froggie was seriously cute. And possibly very tasty sauteed in garlic butter, but Froggie lives.

Which is completely amazing, since Froggie doesn't seem to have any survival instinct. Doesn't it know the value of fear? Joyce > > what do we find sitting right in the middle of the doorstep?

He found a tiny little green frog under the metal barbecue cover, singing away, and presumably enjoying the extra resonance.

Oh that gives a lovely mental image :) Cheers, helen s > My dad once heard a loud, booming noise coming from his patio, and > went out to investigate.

I think that frog should have auditioned for a Budweiser commercial. :) Joyce >My dad once heard a loud, booming noise coming from his patio, and >went out to investigate.

That reminds me of that Bugs Bunny cartoon with the singing frog (from a llloong time ago on tv). "Hello my baby, hello my darlin, hello my ragtime doll". (hope someone remembers this; otherwise I just sound wierd). NanCe > >My dad once heard a loud, booming noise coming from his patio, and > >went out to investigate.

I love the cartoon where Bugs is trying to keep him quiet for some reason and he keeps popping up. :) -L. > Fed Waffles and she's meowed to go outside.

Although I think your froggie is a courtin' disaster :) -Caroline S.

However, you should have warned Froggie that further temptations would not be safe. Chak SignatureIn science, 'fact' can only mean 'confirmed to such a degree that it would be perverse to withhold provisional assent.' I suppose that apples might start to rise tomorrow, but the possibility does not merit equal time in physics classrooms. --Stephen Jay Gould >Froggie was seriously cute. And possibly very tasty sauteed in garlic >butter, but Froggie lives. That is cute. Your posts make all creatures sound cute. :) >>Froggie was seriously cute.

I do tend to view the wildlife of the grounds of Chateau Unfit Family though pink lenses. But if we had bears, I would not.. or anacondas... Basically I have an aversion to wildlife that can view me as a snack. Nor Sydney Funnel Web spiders... I do not like cockroaches (raw, fried or boiled..). I'm rambling a bit here, aren't I.
