 | |  | | VISHUS DEER ALERT for GOSHEN, NY (Orange County- approx 68 miles NW of NYC) November 24, 2006 4:00 PM (EST)
Just a few short moments ago, 7 visus deer were spotted passing through my yard. None of these deer had the skewer weapons on their heads and I did NOT see the little one who was scouting my yard the other day.
They paid no attention to me as I watched them through one of the many new windows of my house. They seemed to be on a mission and their determination frightened me. If I had not been protected inside my house behind thick, vishious deer-proof glass, I would have run for my life. They were obviously up to no good.
They headed West following the sun and towards the neighboring horse farm, a KNOWN hideout and residence for the neighborhood strays and outdoor cats.
By the time mom saw them, it was too late to do any practical study of them- they disappeared one by one into the corn next to our yard.
Mom thinks that since the corn fields border BOTH our property AND the land where the horses grow, the vishus deer use it as cover to attack the barn kitties AND to study me and Gordy (the young and juicy one) through the glass that thay can not penetrate.
New Theories:
Could it be possible that by watching THEM, I am putting my feline brothers and sisters at risk??? Is it possible that the vishus deer are studying ME the way I am studying THEM so that THEY may learn OUR tactics???
One one hand, I don't think they have the advanced intelligence that we kitties have to make this type of learned connection. On the other hand, *CAN* they learn by trial and error??? They learned how to heard us kitties and direct us to the skewers... The little one *seemed* to be frightened by the fact that mom was unaffected by it's hypnosis attack...
Mom and I WILL continue to study the vishus deer when I believe that they do not know I am watching them. Until I can prove that they CAN'T learn OUR skills of avoidance, I will be certain to remain out of sight- say an upstirs window or I will just rely on mom and her reports and sightings.
*UPDATE*
I am STILL convinced she is safe to be around and NOT hypnotized as of this report.
Best of luck to all our kitty brothers and sisters who face this very real danger everyday. |  |  | |  |
