Chloe and Dusty
Chloe is the mixed tabby cat that showed up with her three kittens shortly after we moved in back in 2005. She has some orange that you can see on her hind quarters, but she has excellent camouflage for the pine bark mulch. One of her kittens looked like a siamese. We were able to find a home for him, but the two orange tabbies, Rusty and Dusty, are still with us. Here Dusty, the pale male, is trying to blend in with some of the native stone we use for landscaping. He’s pretty skittish, but sometimes he lies so quietly that you can walk right by him without even seeing him.
Chloe does blend in with the mulch, but I still spotted her. I completely missed Dusty, until you pointed him out.
I note that Chloe is walking as close to the arboreal route as it is possible to take on the ground.
Leah and I have literally walked right by both of these cats without seeing them. I mean a matter of a few feet from them.
