When I saw this little guy on a self-guided walking tour of Alexandria, VA, I thought he was a red fox, well not really.He didn't look too threatening. Curious maybe, ready to accept a treat should one fall his way.
The fluffiness of his tail might have been a warning, or just the result of a bad hair day. God knows we all have enough of those.
Since I tend to get along with cats better than other species, I decided to approach without caution.
The tail grew, the ears moved to flatten against his skull, and he gave a weak little hiss that sounded like a bicycle tire leaking . . . slowly.
I backed away as he edged nervously into his alley, and we parted less than friends. Sigh!
