Fuss 'n Feathers

No, it can't be. My peepers are deceiving me!

A present left for me of two peacock feathers? How did they get here? They're bee-u-tee-ful!




Certainly the mighty peabird couldn't have shed two feathers in one place. Impossible.

Voluntarily surrendered them for my pouncing pleasure? Not hardly.




I think..and I think..mmmmm..




The only conclusion I can come to is they must have been a gift from the FSS.




The Feline Stealth Squad, an anonymous band of Robin Hood-like pranksters who steal from the unwary to give to the unlikely

And all in the name of fun.

Just to let you know, no peacocks were hurt--well, not until now




in the creation of this post. (Actually, the feathers came from the local animal shelter at a dollar apiece, but this made a much better story!)

  12. We LOVE peacock feathers too! Mommy bought FIVE of them once and we destroyed one while Boomer and Felix destroyed another two. The surviving two are now back at the top of the fridge where they are safe...until we figure out how to get up the fridge without breaking something. MOL.

    Love, Cosmo and Ling

  13. Peacock feathers are an awesome cat toy!! What a nice find that was. I had some once, but they were so pretty that I didn't want the kittehs to ruin them, so I put them up high. That didn't really stop them, MOL.

  14. Heh. I think your human was kidding you, Tom, by saying they were bought at a local animal shelter. Humans don't want to acknowledge the existence of the FSS!

  15. We are sooo jealous, we need the FSS to come visit us!

  21. You tell a great story, Father Tom! I'm really looking forward to reading your book. And my kitty LOVES the peacock feathers too:)

  22. That was a great story Tom, for sure! That FSS looks like it is not to be messed with for the Peacock probably gave up the feathers willingly! Those feathers look like they will be fantastic to play with! We like the pictures of you too. (And thanks for your thoughtful comment today, we appreciate it very much.)
