Tonight's New Kitty Toy
Sep. 25th, 2011 11:00 pmThe cats, apparently, found a frog.
TINIEST CUTEST LITTLE FROGGY EVER!! :D
I heard an odd, inquisitive 'mrow?' from Galahad, followed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kurlon asking what the heck that was that the boys had found, and coming down stairs to find both cats locked on to a brown... fuzzy... thing. That hopped. Looked kinda like a moth, but no... First thought was 'Frog?' but no, that's silly. But. hopping moths? No. Got to be a frog. Covered in loose fur (I guess I should vacuum...).
The tiny little guy had gotten himself quite coated in cat fuzz, and was really not having a good time of being poked and prodded by the original producer of said fuzz, so I scooped him up, cleaned and washed him off the best I could (so much fuzz! He was a live furball!), proceeded to re-catch him several times (those itty bitty legs pack a lot of jumping power!) and keep him from getting lost forever in the gap between the stove and counter (deep dark gap, perfectly tiny-frog sized), and return him to the great wide world (undoubtedly by morning to be eaten by some bird... but I hope not), by way of Sam the Tangerine's pot.
Such a teeny little guy! Only about 1 cm long, not including his little legs. Wicked cute. No idea what species he is... (or, for that matter, if it's even a 'he'.) Little bit of excitement for tonight, at least.
EDIT: Apparently, the little fellow is a Spring Peeper! How on earth can something so TINY make such a RACKET??
