A true story as perceived by, Don Ford.
It was a quite morning in the neighborhood, I sat in my rocker near the garage door, enjoying the morning sun. Molly (our cat) was being her usual curious self, investigating everything that moved and some that did not.
She was especially interested in the birds as they flew in and out of our yard. Molly enjoys chasing birds and making them fly. She has often wondered, why the birds will not stay and play with her.
As I looked towards our neighbor’s house, I saw a black and white cat run across the Yard and then hide in the shrubs. This black and white cat’s name is, “Oscar”.
Oscar lives at our neighbor’s house with several other cat friends. One of his cat friends is Earl. Earl is orange and white and loves to play games.
When Oscar ran across the yard and hid in the shrubs, Earl ran to a tree in the yard and stopped. Both cats sat very still as if they were hiding.
All of a sudden Oscar came out of the shrubs and ran to the other tree in the yard, as Earl ran to the shrubs. Both cats stopped at the same time and watched each other.
Oscar, was at the bottom of the tree when all of a sudden he climbed the tree. As Oscar climbed the tree Earl ran from the shrubs and stopped at the bottom of the tree.
It seemed odd at first that both cats would run and then stop at the same time. Perhaps they were playing a game of, “follow the leader”. When Oscar would run, Earl would follow and when Oscar stopped, Earl would stop.
This running and stopping continued until the lady who lived in the house opened the door and called, “here kitty kitty” and both cats ran to the lady.
The End
I hope you get to play some today.

The above was not a true story, if you haven’t guessed. Although I did see the cats and they were following each other I doubt that they were playing follow the leader, but who knows what goes through a cat’s brain. The photo of the kitten at the bottom has nothing to do with the story, I just liked the photo.
