Hornets & Cats ..... OR Hornets & Just about anything else they don't like........

We were out in the yard the other evening about dusk. Kim the Cat was acting like his usual crazy self - running around here and there, climbing this tree, jumping down, running across the yard and climbing that tree. When he gets like this, he looks like a psycho kitty running around. I saw him ran up the tree and 'land' on the branch with the hornets nest. I was saying to Caleb that this wasn't going to be good, when suddenly he jumped out of the tree, shot across the yard as fast as lightening with his ears laid flat on his head, and disappeared around the corner of the tree.

Honestly??? I cracked up. I know that doesn't sound very compassionate, but honestly....... it was hilarious!! He was no where to be found until sometime later when I saw him on the deck acting as if nothing had happened.

Even though he didn't appear to be bothered, I have to wonder if the hornets fought back! He likes to TRY and mess with the hummingbirds too - but they can't sting!!
