Alayne took these photos the other morning through the glass door of our bedroom. That's one of our barn cats, Skitter, on her usual morning perch scanning for something edible down below. The barn cats love coming out to this deck and sitting up there, because it gives them a great view from on high.
I guess this is kind of the feline version of a tree stand that human hunters use.
After a couple of camera flashes, Skitter turned to give Alayne this look:
I think that's a look that says, "Listen, lady, you're ruining my concentration with that thing!"

Or I can't help wondering if she is saying "It's snowy and cold out here - won't you please let me in? And yes I know I am not allowed."

Skitter looks like the Queen of the kingdom surveying her holdings. With the 2nd photo I can just picture her (if she could talk) saying to Alayne "Pardon me, if I need a minion, I will summon you. Please return from whence you came!"
