The cat and the wolf

Last night we watched something amazing. A black and white cat came over to eat the scraps I put out for the fox. It was the end bones and the skin of a chicken. The cat is pretty good sized and is a male. He was eating and I saw two large shadows on the edge of the woods. The cat bushed up but did not run. He held his ground and the wolf never came out of the shadows. I think if it would have run it would have bought the farm. It finished the few pieces left and never turning it's back, walked into the woodpile which the wolf was to big to think about even getting into. The little fox came by later but ran when the scent of the wolf hit his delicate nose. The wolves were very pretty and had thick coats. They were big and moved very catiously. They don't like to come into the light or out into the open. This is the first time I've seen them this year. The coyotes are around most of the year and are a mangy looking bunch. You can tell the difference between them. I have to get a stealth cam like Joe has so I can get pictures. It is very foggy and 42 degrees this morning. The dampness goes to the bone. Have a good day.
