Ambrose Cheats on the Chickens

Ambrose's new obsession: the goats. He is out there every time I milk now, although, being the Non-Cat that he is, he won't even touch the wasted milk in the strip cup. He has a particular fascination with Lucy. Now that we have the back pasture available, I like to take a lawn chair out there and read. The goats will not go out there unless I "shepherd" them. Today Ambrose of course saw it as his responsibility to be my co-shepherd, and posted himself under a nearby bush. Soon all three goats are surrounding him eating the bush over his head, and he was just lying there with his eyes at half mast. At one point Lucy, by far the more curious of the bunch, gave him a good sniff, to which he replied with a half-hearted hiss and resumed his catnap. After such a strenuous morning he decided to spend the afternoon lounging in the goat pen with the goats.
