    Wow!, Three of our cats would have killed the flying thing maliciously or on principle. The other would have eaten it.
    Beautiful video and a hearty well done to the chairman for not giving in to baser urges.

    Wendy – this is so great! I can’t believe Chairman Meow didn’t nail him! He was so good when you said, “no, no.” Good kitty! I see a lot of butterflies like this guy in WV. I will forever think of this video when I see them in the future. Where did you find the caterpillars???

    Keep up your absolute AMAZINGNESS, Ms. Wendy. Your endeavors truly fascinate me!

    Wow, Dr. Eckel – I’m so honored to receive such compliments from an amazing nature/bio photographer and overall fascinating/amazing person like you! I found Buddy at a cooperative farm in Lincoln, MA, and Alpha through Eta I “rescued” from a local organic market.
