Antlers

Carrie found a deer antler on one of her fox hunts. The surprise winner was Tsuki. She likes to chew on it!

Maybe she thinks she has some panther in her ancestry?

A couple of days later I was surprised to find another set of antlers at the bottom of Maddy's hay bag.

Carrie's antler's had been from the right. Mine were from the left. Together we had a full set!

"That's skull attached to the bottom of yours!" Carrie said. "Mine had been shed, but yours died in a field."

Carrie noticed what looked to be a small bore bullet hole, so it was possible hunters. However, hunters like to keep racks as trophies, so maybe the buck ran off, died, and became the local wildlife's dinner.

Tsuki claimed this rack, too.

The other cats don't seem to care, but Tsuki was obsessed! 

Tsuki's a special cat. Besides antlers, she's infatuated with the corners. She's claimed the kitchen island as her own.

It makes no sense, but makes for great pictures.

Especially in sequence!

Tsuki's particular with a lot of her idiosyncrasies. She wants to nest on Carrie from Carrie's left side. If Carrie's not positioned correctly Tsuki will stare at her until she shifts. Then she'll hop over or do whatever it takes to get to that coveted position where she'll nest, nibble, act like she's nursing, or nibble and chew gently on Carrie's fingers. 

Meanwhile Happy will look on like "What in the world is going on over there?"

Or maybe she's just hiding out from Shane. My cat, Aria, parks up high on the kitchen cabinets where she's queen of all she surveys.
