Black and White

Snow cat so wild and white black spots will hide and blend with ease by still black trees he looks he stalks black prey in cold chill brush black eyes stare through he hears white noise a crouch a lunge a strike to catch and eat white meat his prize. Written on 3/6/2016

Stunning! Even my house cats are predators. When they are lucky enough to catch a squirrel it bothers me, but, like you say, it's as natural as black and white. Love, daver

You did really wonderful describing the coat and sounds of the Snow Leopard Laura. Then its triumphant catch. Mine may be more visual. SuZ wrote one on #2 also. I am sure to see yours at the top Laura. ; )
