An Unwanted Guest

So what would you do if you came home to find this cute little chap on your doorstep? First thing, check the cat is still in one piece (OK). Then call the neighbours (and their brawny henchmen) to help you evict him.
He (or she, I didn’t stop to look, so let’s stick with it), had obviously lumbered over from the nearby lake to see what it could find for supper. It looks like it had found something, by the sluggish exit it made, in spite of being prodded and poked with many sharp objects and with many lashings of a vicious looking tail.
But I felt very sorry for all 6 feet of it. The ultimate unwanted guest; nothing the matter with it in its own environment, but do you want one as a garden pet?....I think not. Though it could do a good job of keeping the rats down.
Bless its cotton socks. I hope it made it back to the lake. In one piece.
