Finally got out to the super when the lying weather forecast said it would stop raining from 6 p.m. Of course it rained on the way back but at least I have soy milk now. On the way to, I passed Joti's house down the block and thought, 'Gee, that's a big squirrel', hiding amongst the deep greenery that our Irish weather of the last month has encouraged to run rampant. Only it wasn't a squirrel but either a large rabbit or a small hare-- not that I've ever seen many of either in this burg. I must assume it's someone's pet because, well, rabbits aren't native to downtown AFAIK. Skunks, raccoons, and coyotes, yes: but rabbits would fall prey to any of those, not to mention our urban hawks. It was either gone or hiding when I came back.

But equally, as I was watching the leporid amongst the greenery, the pure white cat who struts around from time to time was coming along the side street, stalked by a Korean family who I assume owns it. Cat consented to join them on the sidewalk across from me but dashed away the minute younger daughter made an attempt to pick it up. I don't see white cat very often, unlike Barton Cat who owns the corner a block down from me and lies, like Old Deuteronomy, in the exact middle of the sidewalk and Will Not Move. But clearly Snowy gets out from time to time. And shouldn't: the urban fauna mentioned above also attacks cats.
