The Guard Cat

Some businesses have guard dogs. They growl and gnash their teeth and drool on the floor as ferocious dogs are supposed to do.

But some locations have guard cats. There is less drooling, but more disdain.

When we parked on Stafford's Main Street to get the Sunday paper after church, I glimpsed the occupant of 109 North Main sunning herself in the window.  She must have been on break from her guard duties. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and not jump to the conclusion that she was goofing off on the job.

Her glassy-eyed stare through the window dared me to stay away.

Let's hope she's giving that same attitude to the mice.
