As we have described before, we live in a rural area, but one that is also a vacation area. Most of the homes that are near us are vacation homes, so we have much of the year to ourselves. Last year, however, the man who built our house built his own house and moved his family in. They are great neighbors (he sees that our road is plowed after every snow – that alone is a great neighbor) and their dogs are great. However, we have also recently discovered that he has a new resident. A resident who is becoming increasingly brave.
We should be clear. We live in the land of coyotes. Black bears. Bobcats. Nothing scares us. Except for this beast. It is so strong. So powerful. So awe inspiring. And, frankly, as strange as it may sound to the rest of you, we have never actually been able to see one of these creatures in real life. Until now.
Intimidating, isn't it?

Wings of Doom
December 12, 2024
A simple nightly routine with my dogs led me to face the wings of doom, a hideous creature that lurks in the shadows of my yard.

His books pay for our food!
Yikes! What the heck IS that???
Bobo and Meja
It would only be scarier if she was all black!
Just wait until she starts driving around in a motorized cat cup …
I think I’ve seen one of those before. I thought they were extinct 🙂
Beware! We live with one of those creatures and they are dangerous!
Steve
Oh-oh!
Looks like he is not afraid of you!
Be careful!
Kisses and hugs

We live with FOUR of those – piece of cake☺
We have 6 of them here. You’d be surprised how “intimidating” they can be when they want to. Heaven save us all the day they figure out the advantages of forming an alliance with each other! lol

Wow…I live with 4 of those beasts! 🙂

Sweet kisses and licks to all of your pack!!!!
Hmmmm, wonder how long that snow plowing will still be an amenity for the TH:) We have one of those silly critters on our street – he even walks behind his Dad when he is out walking the two pugs. He is one very brave (or stupid) cat because he walks right up to us until the Momster screams at the owner to get him back. He needs to be on a leash too.

What a brave kitty! There’s a kitty that likes to use my aunty’s garden as a litterbox! He hasn’t been brave enough to come into my yard yet!
Mochi
You better believe it guys. We had one of those in our house before us!
In 22 years she licked every dog into shape!
Be careful……….
xx
I think we should start taking bets as to how long it is around if left to wonder outside!
Holly
Don’t worry. Some of them are deeemessticated!! We have 8 living is our house. We are not sure about the wild ones, though.
Woofs and Kisses!
The Fiesty Three
CIRCLE WIDE Dear furends! REALLY REALLY WIDE!
We have two of those rascals in our houses and they bop you on the head when woo aren’t looking!
Wags and woofs,
Mack and Mia
Intimidating? To Six Strong Siberians? Ummmm, I don’t think so! All they have to remember is she is smarter and faster than they are. And they will be fine.
Kisses,
Stella
You better watch out – those felines can be predatory and aggressive 🙂
I can’t believe that the kitty is becoming brave about visiting SO many Sibes! Maybe she’s a little daft?
…. and does its human owner understand Siberian “prey drive?” Perhaps it should be constrained to keep its distance…. I’m just sayin’.
jack a-roo & miss moo
That is so funny, I don’t think I would let my kitty out of the house with all the other creatures around!
Have fun!
xxoo

We’ve so many here as our neighbours are big supporters of them, sigh!!!
There SO goes the neighbourhood!

Be skeered, be very skeered. I has the utmost respekt for the kitteh kreatures. They has these daggers wot can rip your nose new nostrils. Iz very owie.
Oh, we had one of those beasties here once upon a time! Poor Hawk lived in total terror of it. In his defense, the cat attacked him over everything that happened in our house. Keep your distance Herd! They can be unpredictable!
DANGER! DANGER!
One of those invaded my house and now I have to share the big bed with it. TREAD CAREFULLY!
Wow. Scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds to me like you’ve been living a pretty good life! 🙂
One of the handful of times that I actually ever heard Juno bark was at a cage full of those baby beasts at the vets office. Nearly knocked me off my feat with that unsuspecting yelp!
Hide!
Watch those swipes, they are lethal…
You Herd be careful of these things, they get you into a lot of trouble!
Oh those cats! I hope you all get to meet him soon.
Love,
Teddy Bear
Oh those cats! They are cute but it’s not fair that they have the freedom to roam around.
Love,
Teddy Bear
Khyra and I would be happy to give you an education about these creatures!
