Emu

Do you know what an emu is? This is Maxine gnawing on a BIG emu bone. It was bigger than her face and she had to work really hard to pick it up and trot from here to there eating it.

The question Jimmy always asks when she is eating a big bone is, "Do you think she could take that down in the wild?" Well what do you think?

This is a picture of an emu.

Do you think a cat could take down an emu? Well, that's the rest of the story . . .

That same night at around three in the morning, we were in bed and woke up to the sound of something banging on the floor. I got up to check and see what kind of mischief the gatolinos were in at that late hour. They weren't doing anything! And I couldn't locate the sound. When I got back in bed Jimmy asked what it was and I told him I didn't know. So he says, oh I think I know and gets up, grabs a flashlight, turns off the alarm and goes outside. He comes back. Mystery solved. He flashed the flash light under the house and it was MAC RIB gnawing on that emu bone! So she had found it in the yard and dragged it all the way under the house and as she was chewing on it the bone was knocking the bottom of the house, right underneath the bed!

How she dragged a bone bigger than her is an even bigger mystery!
