Gastritiscauses

And that, right there, cat, is why you got the gastritis in the first place!!
Someone remind me why I wanted these creatures again???????

P.S.
In case anyone's wondering... the reason the ISO on this one is sitting at 6400 is that I forgot to turn it down after being out all night yesterday, hoping for a break in the clouds to see this grade 8+ aurora.
Nothing. Never mind a break, not even a crack!
So I tried a night shot or two, but even those were non-starters, it was that dark under the cloud cover.
But hey... the cat is catching chaffinches again. I think  that's basically good news....
