Today is BlogACatMas and by tradition, we engage the bloggiest topic of all, pictures of cats.

In honour of BlogACatMas, I post this picture and a  BlogACatMas Tale: Lucky Day for a Chicken.



I was in Istanbul Turkey.  I passed the woman in the red vest who was walking her chicken.  I guess the chicken needs to stretch its legs once in while.  She regularly walked the chicken. 

The cat on the left hand side thought it had hit the cat jackpot.  It was slowly but surely easing itsself forward until the woman moved far enough away from the chicken and the cat could pounce.

I stopped to take a picture.  The woman noticed me taking a picture and she realized what I was taking a picture of.  She quickly pulled her chicken to safety.

The chicken lived to see another day of laying eggs and going for a stroll.  The cat kept on keeping on, the way cats do.
