Today's M-W's Word of the Day is Wildcatter. In talking about "ferocious felines played only an indirect role in the development of the word 'wildcatter'," the e-mail says that "Messing with a wild cat, such as a lynx, can be a pretty risky undertaking."
Several days ago, I was followed by a black-and-white-stripe cat. I can hardly tell the sex of any animal. Let me say this is just a pretty cat. It did not follow the couples back to their dormitary for accasional food but turned to swirl around my feet until I started to feel uncomfortable. When it stopped moving, it squatted down on the ground two or three steps away from me. About two hours later in that day. I met this cat again. It was squatting on the ground in front of a building in the apartment yard. After recognized me, the cat started to follow me and my husband on our way back to apartment. I tried to drive it away. A strong amber light beamed out the cat's right eye in a sudden.
l was told that cats have the sense to catch a person who does not like or care them from a group of people and have the intent to jump up to the person. I do not hat cats but I don't like them either. Probably that is why the pretty cat would follow me. It is malicious.
