Hunted

Jogging on the street this morning before the sun came up and in my own little world, I noticed a moving shadow out of the corner of my eye. The NEXT thing I was conscious of was this huge, ferocious, clawing, black CAT attacking my brand new white running shoes! My heart was already racing since I was into my 2nd mile, so I nearly had a heart attack... The cat pounced, I screamed, the cat jumped off my foot, and I screamed again. He had his back reared up like he wanted to attack again and was showing no fear of me as I hyperventilated. He must have thought my shoe was a rat or rabbit or at least that's what I'm telling myself so I have the courage to run again tomorrow without the fear of being stalked... it's a jungle out there, hiss-meow.

wow... what a crazy cat! I don't like cats... and no one messes with my running shoes!

I've been doing 5K runs 5 days a week... want to do a 5K fun-run together? :)

Emrie, just have to tell you that I've had a similar experience with RB on a run... if it makes you feel any better, I just about died too and even RB jumped. (I won't mention the attempt he then made at kicking the cat:)
Hope you guys are doing well!
