Felines are farsighted, and somewhat color-blinded; that is, they see well in distance but cannot see small things in front of them and if the prays are not moving, they cannot find them, but if they move, the cat always catch them. The vole couldn’t get away from the cat, so I release it, twice; one lucky vole (if we discount that it was “unlucky” to be caught at the first place).

One unlucky chipmunk
Blue is learning and becoming better hunter everyday and at least she now knows how to hold her pray with her paws and body, but still doesn’t know what to do after that thou. The chipmunk used my body as a tree trunk to escape the cat. Too fast for me to catch the actions in film, the chipmunk circled my legs and body ended up hid in my pocket. I dig it out and left it on the ground and thought that it would run away again as usual, but the cat was on its tail again, and it came back to hid inside my short, I caught it and noticed that it lost a portion of tail skin (not the first time when I release it), one unlucky chipmunk, my bad. I release it to the tree, and it got away with a battle scar, an honorable badge of living free and wild in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
The good news is that Heavenly is scheduled opening 18-19 ski season on Nov 16, and Squaw Valley has announced the opening on the same day; the bad news is, it has no moistures insight for the next 10 days. Luvski, we need your敲木魚and snow praying more, thanks.
Thanks for the snow dance, snow has come; Heavenly reported receiving close to two feet of snow from the past storms, thou skiing conditions are not so great, but enough to get the season going. And more snow storms forecasted coming next week.
It is not her first time on the snow (she doesn’t like to walk on snow much), but it is her first time hunt on the snow, and she heard the squirrel minutes before the squirrel appeared on that corner of the tree, good show.
