  3. It amazes me that a cat can intimidate a bear. I know that the deer in my neighborhood are very wary of my little cat, who is less than 1/20 of an adult deer’s weight.

    2. Even I am afraid of praying mantises. One of those things gets ahold of you and it’s curtains. 🙂

      Actually, I love those beautiful little creatures. It’s not uncommon to find one on my front porch, about this time of year. I always see them as friends, and a source of beauty.

      When the local deer are foraging in my back yard, my cat will jump up on the window sill and she trembles with excitement. The deer watch her every move, and if she does something suddenly, they will jump back.
