Gus has been going around the farm challenging every living thing (but the sheep) to play with him. Flo, our imperious, mostly affectionate,  and also murderous barn cat was walking down the path and Gus intercepted her and tried to draw her into a wrestling match.

Flo stared at him contemptuously, and when he came close, she boxed him on the nose several times with her paws (claws in). Gus was shocked, shrieked and ran off to hide behind Maria. Two minutes later, he was licking Minnie and bumping heads with her. Gus is relentless.

He is the first creature to ever try to play with Flo, who does not play. I wonder if he will try it again. This one didn’t work out too well.
