Yesterday John and I decided that in lieu of a stroll around the park (which we try to do everyday it's not pouring and/ or freezing) we were going to grab a blanket and go lay down under a shady tree in the central grassy area of the park. So before we even make it to the park, I spotted a cat walking on the other side of the street a few house lengths ahead of us. We watched as the cat patiently waited for traffic and then cautiously crossed the street. She then proceeded to head into the park until she made it to the far side (and we conveniently headed in the same direction until we caught up with her).
It was at this point when the cat became aware of our presence and seemed to be slowing down to allow an interaction when the question arose of whether this was the same feline of the previously documented Angela Trap. After we were able to pet this kitty for a bit, we decided that in fact it was. This was a chronic Angela Trap that probably made her way to the park on every sunny day to hang out in the dirt and hunt some unsuspecting birds. We have frequently been spotting some delicious looking quail and while it would most likely be illegal for us to kill and eat one, no one is going to blame a cat for doing so.
Even so, the adorable Angela Trap did not take advantage of the succulent quail on our watch. Instead she found her way over to our blanket after we had settled down (conveniently close to where she had stopped) to take advantage of our abundant pets. And since we had come to the park with the intent of laying around anyway, I was able to pet her as much as I wanted without John looking at me impatiently.
We ended up hanging out on our blanket for about an hour and a half and during that time the Angela Trap spent her time going from laying under a tree to coming back for pets. She presented the perfect opportunity for us to take pictures of her so that I might post them on my blog, but I had previously complained about John bringing his phone to the park (and hence the camera) and I somehow managed to end up with one of the few boyfriends who actually listens to me. I guess the best solution would be for me to bring my phone/ camera because I'm never tempted to text while I'm walking. That way if I am correct in thinking this cat is in the daily habit of hanging out at the park, I will eventually obtain a picture of her. In the meantime, here is a visual approximation of what she looks like.
This is actually Charlotte, our lovable long time stray from Georgetown. Trap is skinner than Charlotte with no white on her.
Anywhozers, we decided that if we were going to be seeing this cat a lot, she needed a name. To achieve this, we simply dropped the "Angela" from "Angela Trap" and simply named her Trap. Real pics coming soon. Hopefully.
