There are cat people, and there are dog people. The Knucker Hatches are dog people. With one exception...Domino our barn cat. He's cool, calm and collected. He handles Faith's less than gentle touch, without a flinch. His personality is thick and endearing. Domino is no ordinary domesticated house cat or barn cat for that matter. He's more like a free range lion; a refined hunter who has displayed his prowess as master of his dominion in the few weeks we've had to watch his smooth moves.
I've heard of kitties catching a mouse or bird and bringing it back to their owners as a trophy. But Domino spends his time tracking down big game. The children and I have witnessed him catching a snake and a chipmunk. A chipmunk!!! I heard the poor guy screeching all the way as Domino ran off with his breakfast in his mouth. And yet, as the children and I watched him trot off, you couldn't help but admire his skill.
We're not in Kansas anymore.
