1. Did nobody else notice the cat on the orange roof in the other lot…?

   1. I did, and wondered if that was Eddie! And then there’s something grey in the upper right corner of the pool, almost like a squashed up manta ray.

   2. I thought that was Eddie. 🙂

      1. What kind of name is, “Eddie,” for a cat? And wouldn’t it be confusing to have a cat and a d*g share the same name?

         1. Not really.

            After all, only one of them will ever come when you call it.

            1. Names serve more purposes than merely for lords to summon their vassals — a situation that obviously does not pertain in the case of a cat!

   3. Yep

2. I think these “Can you spot the …” should at least show the object in question in focus. ):

3. Thanks everyone for playing. I’m honored that Jerry shared this even though a d*g was the subject. Ben, that does look like a cat on the neighbors roof but pretty sure it’s not. I think is a bit of palm tree bark. It was a breezy day and some bits were blowing off the palms. BillyJoe, the original image is pretty much in focus. I think the crop showing Eddie maybe got enlarged a bit too much on the website making it look more out of focus.

   1. And i didn’t even see the aardvark in the pool until Joseph McClain pointed him out!

      1. Makes you wonder how many nightjars are hiding in the scene….

         1. And the palm squirrels! There are palms after all.

   2. Thanks for the challenge, Florian.

      Also–nice digs, nice neighborhood!

4. I think GBJames guessed it right.

   1. He did indeed! That’s some fine Spot the ______________ right there!

      I’m pretty sure that’s a wildebeest, by the way, chilling in the far corner of the pool.

5. Jack Russells are very cool dogs. I had a friend whose Jack Russell would run up trees after squirrels — seemingly impossible trees.

   1. My sister once house-sat for a Jack Russell that had to be let out several times each night in order to climb trees in the back yard.

6. Named after a clergyman … ( got to get religion into the thread !)

   1. YHWH generally is considered a bit above clergy, though you’re likely right that his anglicized name had something to do with the species.
