Nice Baruch. Is there duality in 'Hole in the screen'? I am still pondering. The evocation of long hot nights hunting and stalking bugs like a cat is nice. Sometimes I talk to my 'bugs', I set up 'ambushes' for them, "I've got you now... come into my lair..". However, afaik cats are not capable of, and never show Malignity. They are creatures of instinct that kill or flee in a millisecond of opportunity, and then later their brains catch up with what happened.

    Hi, andyf. My cat's name is Zaichik, and she doesn't have a malign bone in her body. I was just being silly with the title, which is from a chapter in a book I read (Kai Lung Unrolls his Mat, by Ernest Bramah)...

    The hole in the screen was almost the hole in the window screen... but that was just too much.
