Home cat and chipmunk

To control my wife’s flower garden’s rodents’ problems, we adopted a 9 weeks old domestic blue female kitten (so we named her “Blue”) last summer, now 13 months+ old, is quite a natural born hunter. Since the spring thawed and the ground opened up in May, she has already caught 6 chipmunks and one vole with no one to teach her how, great skills to catch them, but hasn’t figured out how to kill (she doesn’t need them for food), and what to do with them, so they all got away. That’s the best outcome I can hope for, the critters escaped, the kitten got her training, and we got a great entertainment.

是的，可惜了，相片要是正的話花就更好看了，我有很多花的相片，只是不是今年的（今年的花都是用手機拍的）。

養貓治老鼠是很organic的方法，只是我很驚奇的發現，養貓跟養小孩一樣，我們沒有小孩，所以整個事件都很新鮮。不同的是小孩你可以教，至少有語言可以溝通，小貓就只有看它自己長、自己學了，全靠它遺傳因子/DNA，看它玩它的玩具小老鼠，真像是武道高手，很厲害。

我聽說，現在的年青人(generation X and Millennial) 因為科學/電腦的發達而認為只要他們“想” 的通，他們就“懂” 、就“會”，自貴自得，所以不問，不學，不長，手機玩多了，網路論壇的討論就有點落伍了。

Why is it called “Daylily” is because its flowers would only blossom for a day and then wither away. I took this picture with my cell phone in a reversed angle to see if my cell phone camera’s orientation is indeed in conflict with this forum’s software. Here we go.

Robin. We have a few robins around here every year too, but have never seen their nests, as one of the parents would fly in front of you and guides you away from their nests. I learned that robin’s “blue” eggs from a song lyric, “your eyes are bluer than robin’s eggs.”

多謝，那得歸功於我求“真知”的態度，很認真。凡事都有其來隴去脈，那是我們中國人所謂的“道”，而我是學道的人，所以我知道“凡事” 的“來隴去脈” 。；）

One lucky vole

Felines are farsighted, and somewhat color-blinded; that is, they see well in distance but cannot see small things in front of them and if the prays are not moving, they cannot find them, but if they move, the cat always catch them. The vole couldn’t get away from the cat, so I release it, twice; one lucky vole (if we discount that it was “unlucky” to be caught at the first place).

One unlucky chipmunk

Blue is learning and becoming better hunter everyday and at least she now knows how to hold her pray with her paws and body, but still doesn’t know what to do after that thou. The chipmunk used my body as a tree trunk to escape the cat. Too fast for me to catch the actions in film, the chipmunk circled my legs and body ended up hid in my pocket. I dig it out and left it on the ground and thought that it would run away again as usual, but the cat was on its tail again, and it came back to hid inside my short, I caught it and noticed that it lost a portion of tail skin (not the first time when I release it), one unlucky chipmunk, my bad. I release it to the tree, and it got away with a battle scar, an honorable badge of living free and wild in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

太浩湖秋天有個特色，那就是樹葉變色，金黃色的楊/aspens、柳/willows，紅色/咖啡色的橡樹/oaks及各式各樣的小灌木有各式各樣的顏色，參雜著黑、綠色的松樹，風景很好看，是太浩湖一年最漂亮的時候。

同時，太浩湖魰魚/kokanee回Taylor Creek產卵，盛時是整條河都是魚。

但是，今年沒有；大部份的樹葉沒有變色就枯掉了，魚也只有小貓兩、三隻，景色，就跟這論壇一樣的，“有氣沒力” 的樣子，沒有什麼好看的；而我現在也是“巧婦難為無米之炊” ，沒有什麼新的事件可以報告的。

等下天亮陪我小貓咪去“狩獵” ，等滑雪，日子還是要過的。

Thanks for the snow dance, snow has come; Heavenly reported receiving close to two feet of snow from the past storms, thou skiing conditions are not so great, but enough to get the season going. And more snow storms forecasted coming next week.

See you guys on the mountains; gone skiing.

Blue is two years old now, just passes her birthday; guess she wants to celebrate it in a bold way; I admire her courage and strength, or just her stubbornness? Then she has to spend her first full-night out 50 feet up in a tree, scary, poor thing. Haven’t seen her made same mistake twice; hopefully she learns this one, we’ll see.

Tahoe living: chipmunks, catch and release

It is known that felines are prolific hunters, so is our cat, Blue. At two-year old, she starts to bring home the “bacon.” A good thing about her is that she doesn’t know how to kill, or the meaning of killing, so she always brings her preys home alive! To end her frustrations for losing her preys, (she hasn’t figured out how to transfer her preys from mouth to paws and hold them, so her preys always got away,) I would have to help her to catch them [inside the house], and put them in a trap so I can release them later, “catch and release.”

Tahoe living: Blue’s first squirrel catch

A red squirrel, by my estimate, is about 4 to 5 times bigger than a typical chipmunk, so it is much stronger, energetic and swifter than a chipmunk, and it is more difficult to catch than to catch a chipmunk. Our kitten has grown into a cat. At two-year+ old, her tallies are 61 chipmunks, 2 voles, 2 shrews, 2 birds, and most recently, 1 squirrel caught, and none of them killed.

Tahoe living: survival of the fittest

This poor chipmunk got caught four times. First it got caught by the cat, brought it home and loosed it inside the house, I helped to catch it and put it in a trap. Couldn’t release it with the cat around, so I fed it some pine nuts on a small dish, when I tried to get the dish out of the cage, it got a way. So I setup a trap, caught it a few hour later. I usually release those chipmunks when the cat is not around, but this time it came out of nowhere, the chipmunk got caught again, but through her resilient resisting tactic, it got away again to live for another day, the survival of the fittest. And that's living.
