New Day Cafe - Saturday: Critters and Stills

Good morning, Newdists. Storm Debbie has moved on. We got lots of rain. There was flooding in some areas. Most of the rain happened from late afternoon to this morning. I spent a little bit of time on Insta. So much more visually pleasing. Logged on to X today to get this diary going and saw Elon Musk fomenting race riots and civil war in England. Hope the British Govt takes him to court. 

Newdists, it is Caturday, hence lets begin with cats, and critters — 

I’m thinking a few lines from songs like “Hello” by either Lionel Richie or Adele.

Your Cafe’s Big Florida Cats — 

Broketail is a Florida panther. She is well known to biologists due to her frequent use of wildlife crossings and her distinctive crooked tail. Her tail is believed to be a result of an injury she sustained as a kitten. It has not hindered her. (cont.)
