A few days ago I had a couple of mates staying over, and we went for a walk down the rather long backyard. Over the fence is an abandoned Bowling Green and many people walk their dogs in there now.
At this point I should declare that the three of us are long-time BIG fans of animal comedy (hence why I have 3 cats).
Well of course my three black cats followed us down, and were chasing each other etc, as they do. Nursie-Girl (a complete Psycho-cat if ever there was one) decided to explore the other side of the fence, and a dog off the leash spotted her, and came charging over for a little tormenting. Nursie had a panic attack (it was only the second dog she's ever seen) and wasted her opportunity to scuttle back over the 70cm fence. The dog had her cornered, but when it got to about 4-5 metres away, she decided that bluff was the best defence. She stayed in this pose (whilst still moving around) for a good half minute or so. You can see in the background where her tormentor retreated to, after coming to a screeching halt at the sight of this enlarged black monster.

At the time we could only see the pic on his display (and me without my glasses), but I just knew there was going to be excellent expression in her eyes - she gets "Garfield" eyes on a regular basis.
In the next pic it appears that she is trotting, but in fact she was moving at an absolute snail's pace, in ultra slow motion. We were just falling over laughing, tears rolling down our cheeks. Barry (the mate) is a pro photographer, and very quick to sieze an opportunity. The autofocus hunted for the fence so that Nurse is a little out of focus, but it's a great pair of pics.

Good one Baz! Haven't laughed so hard in a long time!
There is not a day goes by where Nursie doesn't give me at least one decent laugh - she's a cracker.
