The hen and chick are picking bugs out of the grass.
Our stray cat, only 10 feet away, cleans himself.
Nobody is paying attention to anybody.
When the cat notices the little one has wandered away from momma, he begins stalking -- but the turkeys remain nonchalant.
Finally the stray makes a half-hearted dash, the chick flaps up onto a low branch, no squawks or commotion, momma turkey barely raises her head, the cat saunters back, the baby hops down, time rewinds..
The turkeys scratch in the grass again. The cat cleans himself.
And that was that.
No one took it seriously.
