F seems to have adopted a new past time. (She isn't short of past times but they come and go - short attention span obviously.)
The latest one has lasted nearly a year and seems to involve scavenging bits of wood whenever someone is cutting a tree nearby, cutting them up on the back concrete, creating piles of wood chips and shavings with a couple of nasty looking knives, and then showing me these.
As if I am supposed to be impressed! What does a cat know about these? .... other than that they might be useful for extracting cat food from tins and packets perhaps.
I wonder if I could sell them (along with the honey from my bees) to supplement the catfood fund. The trouble is that F might have already depressed my potential market by giving them away from time to time. Short-sighted woman!

ReplyDeleteOh, Tigger dear boy, I suspect a cat's perception of beauty is different from that of a hyoomon... for I find this collection to be aesthetically pleasing in the extreme - not to mention practical!!! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
Lilac, holly, winter cherry, and hawthorn. The holly is tough to carve but produces a beautiful finish. Lilac too, makes a lovely close grained finish.
