    What am I going to do with her???

    You know...Edwina...the bold huntress...the clever detective....

    Just yesterday, based on Edwina's recommendation, I exonerated the squirrels in the Rosebud case.

    Like most cats Edwina has her routine. She gets up with poppa at 5:30 and goes downstairs for coffee/turkey. She comes back up with him, maybe has a cuddle, then goes out on the screen porch off our bedroom to have a look around the yard. This time of year she will take a rest and sit on one of the chair cushions until I tell her it is time to come in as I'm leaving.

    Usual routine this morning. I go out to get her and she is all cute and comfy..gazing out....THE WRONG DIRECTION.

    There below was a pot of begonias -- breakfast of champions for one of her bushy-tailed squirrel friends. What a feast squirrel was having -- running from side to side..."fresh begonias!" "fresh asparagus ferns" "Yum, yum!"

    At least the mystery is solved but Edwina is going to need a new professional!

    OH NO!! Poor begonias.... Lets just hope the squirrells have not tricked Ms. Edwina into believing that they HAVE TO HAVE some begonia dessert after their roses meal..

    Apparently, begonias are among those flowers edible (for hoomans, too)...one of my inlaws (a fanatic vegeterian) told me they often put the blossoms on salads.

    I'm thinking perhaps the squirrels are paying protection money to the "godkitty" Edwina to look the other way

    YES! That of course explains why Edwina was looking to the other direction! I bet the squirrels have an endless supply of turkey for Edwina....

    I think you guys are on the right track. Here's the facts.

    Edwina always seems to be looking "the other way" when the squirrels are around....

    I have observed Edwina in the bushes and a squirrel on top of the fence chattering away at her....

    We had two squirrels in the yard now there are three more!!!

    These squrrels have no fear of me....as if someone has told them I'm harmless....and finally...

    these are GRAY squirrels and Edwina is a GRAY cat!!!

    As for where they are getting the turkey with which to bribe Edwina...my mother has a flock of wild turkeys in her yard...perhaps she should take a head count!

    Hmmm, wouldn't you love to understand the conversations that are going on between Edwina and the squirrels? They are in cahoots - me thinks!
