Mad Hatters

Sometime next week, the Feeders are off to England for a visit. They did go last year at about the same time, and we'll have our guest feeder to look after us, but we're not too happy about them leaving. Especially as last year, they went to an English Rowing regatta, and, according to the photographs that they took, it's de rigeur for the Ladies wear cat toys on thier heads.



The above example upset our English Feeder somewhat, as it appears these are real butterflies, but, dead ones. A painted Lady, a Red Admiral and (perhaps?) a Small Tortoiseshell, he thinks, based on his schoolboy butterfly identification skills (of which he's a bit proud).




Frankly though, however clever these hats may look at the big event, we can only assume that their wearers are returning home to a cat-free environment....




Because, well, I have an inkling we don't have to tell you, but Fritz and I would be ready to bring them down a peg or two...
