Scarecrow Cat

Ha ha ha.  Why are you making that face at my newest cat?  lol.

I was saying last night that I found something else fun in the auction trash yesterday,

but I needed some daylight for a good photograph.

Looks like somebody's grandpa used his jigsaw to make this cat.

He's rough cut, has marble eyes, and a bushy tail.

I think he just had to come home to the zoo with nine cats! ha ha.

The marble eyes have the best effect with sun shining through them.

And the way the old black paint is especially worn around them, I'm thinking the

kids or grand kids liked rolling them around in their sockets! ha ha.

I love that he's naturally distressed with years of weathering.

I'm thinking he was used in the garden to keep away the birds.

Or maybe by the bird feeder to keep away the squirrels?

I sprayed him off in the kitchen sink and he's drip drying on a rag in the window.

Yes, he looks right at home here!

See what I mean?  Right at home!

You know, maybe I should leave him right there to scare off

Mr. Neighbor Man, in case he wanders too close to this window again!
