Tailing behind the CAT

 

One of the most curious and happiest day in the life is the day before the holiday. Such days comes after many prays. Little Pulla now more conscious about her health because she was hamling two little lives. As every leave days, I also workless beating the bushes around for nothing, Pulla a pretty tiger skinned cat, followed me with some intention.

Hackling of thoughts in my mind, I was accompanied by the Pulla the reason for the both of us walk is a simple Kilo of chicken shared between us last night. Tossing the day’s task I took a lengthier walk made me to go near a forest. Pulla transformed herself from homy dozy cat to little tiger cat as its her basic instinct of the centuries back reactivated.

Iam very curious about the plants and the veggies around even not able to identify the very basic herbs. The CAT was very much intelligent and with her inherent capacity to identify the grass for better digestion or the stomach clearance medicine, started journey for pulpy grass. she is the doctor of her own.

Sooner the CAT which I was following became a village doctor and I tailed her. The one thing I have noticed in the cat was their walk literally a soldier on duty kind. She was stopping frequently and observing the surrounding even for a small sound. She made me curious, most of the time I heard nothing and saw no movements.   This was not only in outer garden even she was doing the ssame when I was writing articles sitting on my bed, suddenly she wakes up for the paper crackles, in the beginning I did not noticed her but soon I understood that the she is relating the crackles with the experience of the sounds of her prey or the bigger animals from whom she have to save herself. Over the days I trained her for crackles and checked the results she was familiar with the sound but not after a week, she freaked and pounded with the sudden push and looked back with the same as she did before the cheat codes of sounds.  I decided that the reaction to the paper crackles are the basic instincts of her life which she not even got prompted by her mother.

Search of food is hunt to her and not a spoon feed, but even after a lot of Whiskas she never forgot the hunting practices as she never off with her smelling capacity of the herbs. We learnt all the teachings from the mother nature including creation and handling the fire, search of water, dig the land for food and many more. Herbs are my interesting topics and hence I believe identification medicinal herbs are learnt from nature and animals. The best pesticides for the crop are the extracted juice of those plants which never touched by the cattle, once said by my grandpa. Yes, we learnt from the animals, a simple trick of edibles is that what can man eat is what a monkey eats and it would be foolish of once own if human tries to touch something which never touched by the animals of the forest. What a man can dig what wild boar did in the last night. What a man can smell is what the honey bees are pollinated.

With my CAT, chasing the tail ended as she cleared her stomach and Iam back to home with tinny doubts. She did what my google lens cant, it was showing all the green lives earthen as a grass, even a small polyethene green rope.
