Rouser watching monarchs

Description

My cat Rouser lives in the backyard and she loves to watch and play with butterflies. Now that the Monarchs are back she is having a ball watching them. Sometime when photographing it pays to turn around. I got this precious capture doing just that. Have a nice day.

Cute, for sure! There's something about calico cats - they seem to be so fun-loving...Rouser doesn't mind at all acting a bit silly in the autumn leaves and sure doesn't mind having her photo snapped by you! A wonderful Finalist, Emile - Congratulations! #11405643
