Tough Chick

It takes guts to enter an arena with two other animals that big, especially if you attract their attention. Chick has guts. And she didn't budge - not until Hayke (the black horse) walked towards her and tried to sniff what she smells like. That was too much. There is only so much a lady can take. (This is the first time that Ox & Horse were together.)

Extreme Cleanliness

Chick was discovered in the dishwasher and photographed with a smart phone. The lower part of the dishwasher had just been cleared out and was still warm - clearly attractive for a cat who also likes the sauna.

In my imagination Chick looks rather indignant at being caught. But perhaps she was just following the movement of some insect flying by, outside the dishwasher.

This image reminded me of something my great-aunt Han is supposed to have said: 'Cleanliness is good, but it should not deteriorate into hygiene' *


*'Properheid is goed, maar het moet niet ontaarden in hygiëne.'
