The kid cats were acting really weird. All of the were trying to squeeze behind the couch.

I thought maybe the rapture had started!

Turns out that SOMEHOW a tiny frog had gotten in to the house. I have no idea how unless it hitched a ride on me and I didn't notice.

It took a while but I finally rescued it from the clowder. I didn't have my phone at hand to get a photo and figured the poor creature was probably traumatized so it was best to set it free in the front garden. It was almost a fluorescent green. I was glad to see it hop away, uninjured.

What a weird start to Rapture Day.

I had to pause for a minute to remember what it meant. LOL

Is that a regionalism where you live? Oh, and good on the frog. In the words of Spock: "Live Long and Prosper!"

We used to see those stuck to windows and patio doors in FL.

One got inside the house and mummified. :yuck:
