No longer outside Barn Cats I suspect?<br /><br />Your "mole" looks rather like the British water vole, which is bigger than the field voles that live in our garden.

He's staying over at the vet's house tonight, tucked up warm beneath the bathroom radiator . . .

One day all creatures will be dwelling together in harmony.<br /><br />I just love Willow and Willis. We had a male tabby/tiger named Willy. Now we have a female tabby named Tork (we thought she was a male) :-)<br /><br />Have a wonderful Christmas holiday season.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-63256001190100669792011-12-04T11:58:38.295-05:002011-12-04T11:58:38.295-05:00Leanne; It seems incredible that the furry creatur...Leanne; It seems incredible that the furry creature allowed me to touch it several times--I think he/she was completely dazed at having the nest disturbed.

Re the 'moles'--see Al's comment below--I'm quite sure I mis-named them.<br /><br />Al; You are correct in your description of moles--some dingy part of my brain suspected they didn't look right--I've done some checking and made a note on the original post--thank you! We do have miles of mole tunnels--but I think what we uncovered are voles or large mice. The dried grass nest should have immediately tipped me off.<br /><br />Angie; the little furry things seemed rather stunned at having their mid-day nap disturbed.<br />Yes--cats in the kitchen--I'm always wiping down surfaces and thinking that non-cat lovers would hardly dare eat anything I make for fear a cat had breathed on it!<br /><br />Jane; The beauty of the morning was worth cold fingers. Cats can make most any spot look comfortable just by curling up there.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-33514220503226674872011-12-04T08:26:39.075-05:002011-12-04T08:26:39.075-05:00Isn't a frosty morn a thing of beauty?

Ours are small almost rectangular creatures with spade like feet at each corner and a round nose for shuffling muck out of the way as they tunnel underground.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-20557530384324240602011-12-03T23:18:47.973-05:002011-12-03T23:18:47.973-05:00A very satisfying day I think.

I'm trying not to get too antsy for home, but once the packing begins I just wish I could wave a magic wand. The moles are interesting. Ours (in the field behind our house in England) were definitely blind. Or maybe they were voles.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.com
