Unwelcome visitors

[pgriz]

Our two cats rid the yard of birds, mice, chipmunks and squirrels. They bring their 'offerings' to the back door two or three times a day. However, they have left the resident skunks, groundhogs and ravens in peace. When the little red tailed fox does its night time round they are both at the door wanting in.

Obviously, they've figured out where on the food chain they belong.

Thing is... those critters are the ones who will survive the next asteroid hit on our planet, and will spawn (I think that word is appropriate) the next repopulation. Because the mammalian line that took over the planet more or less after the last blow did look like these creatures - not too fussy about where their next meal comes from, and almost impossible to eradicate by any means.

Yup. I for one, bow before our rat overlords.

haha I've been somewhere where that is the case. At the Karni Mata temple in India the rats are holy and everywhere. They feed them. Also, visitors must remove their shoes to enter.

Love the rats ears. Great shot.
