Freaked Out

We bought a lobster to make lobster salad for a couple of sandwiches. It is some kind of ritual in the family that whenever we bought lobsters, over the years, we would put them on the floor, to see what the cat (or in this case, cats) think of them. We have been doing this for years, and mostly the cats get kind of spooked. With this lobster, one of the cats headed for the hills, but the other one was really curious. Here is the interesting thing - notice the shape of the cat. All of the cat's weight is in her hind end, so she can yank her head of there in a big hurry if the lobster does anything strange. I love the shape of the cat in this photograph. She got closer, but then got bored, and wandered away.
