My dear readers, I apologize (or not) for the endless tales about the throwaway kitten that came to the Little Bayou House as a "temporary" resident while my son-in-law found a suitable home for him. I guess he did as the (not quite) cat is home. Here is home. He is family. The cat is a little over six months old now and has grown into quite the handsome fellow. Umm...grown...yep, he has definitely grown. This cat is already nigh on eleven pounds and is gaining rapidly. Son is concerned that he may be getting too fat but Bat, the Bayou Prince Cat, is still long-legged and lanky. Perhaps he is just going to be a big cat and not actually overweight.
Earlier, I was down near the marsh edge gathering mulch to put around the hundred or so broccoli plants in the garden when I heard a noise overhead. Bat had climbed the old oak tree and was looming directly over head. When I looked up, I was amazed at how huge this (almost) cat really is. Even though he was on a rather large limb that had some thirty years ago supported a swing for the (then) kiddos, he looked quite gigantic. I had to giggle as I figure, that with a slight bit of altering, a photo could probably be passed off as a picture of a panther. (If I was only adept at altering photographs!) You know, like those photos of Big Foot? Bat could be the Panther of the Bayou!
Anyway, I took pictures of Bat as he climbed about from tree to tree. The photographs will help me in comparing his size come a year from now. I am curious of how big he will get, what type cat he is and if whoever abandoned him knew Bat would be such an amazing animal?
