A dramatic shot of Scaredy Cat. The reigning, ruling matriarch and Queen of the feral cat scene in the Berkeley hills.
For awhile I thought Mini Scaredy (her daughter) was going to take over as the dominant cat. Especially when she started running some of the other cats out of my campsite and up trees. And when Scaredy Cat’s kittens first showed up at my campsite last month, she started growling at them, and I thought she might try to run them off, too.
But she always defers to Scaredy Cat. Because they’re best friends. And maybe because Scaredy Cat is her mom.
