The Epic Showdown …57/365
Posted by Christa Watson in My 365 on February 26, 2010
It was an interesting afternoon in my backyard. My faithful cat Mack was in full force defending the backyard from invaders. We had 2. One was a clone of my Mack-a-doodle, a stray who comes and whines from time to time. They both just sat in full regal stance staring at me as invader #2 entered the territory…the evil raccoon.
That’s when the standoff began. Mack chased poor lil one eyed Jack (this is what I named him after realizing he is missing an eye) up the fence. It was quite entertaining to see a raccoon twice the size of my cat run away in fear. Although I’ve gotta give it to mack, he is mighty fierce.
I have to say lil one eye scared me a bit for being so close to the house. Hope he doesn’t have rabies. I got very close to him to take some pics (shot this with my 35mm so I was practically in his face). We might have to call someone in if he keeps hanging out like this. But for now, it made for quite an adventure.
