Leo, master of his domain

OK. I wouldn't be wasting your time on this if it wasn't HUGE. But Leo, a furry little warrior, just got his first housefly of the summer.

Yes, with an assist from loyal wingman Pumpkin, who jostled it out of the blinds, Leo stalked the unwitting intruder for minutes -- maybe hours. And then, finally, his prey cornered, with grace that defies description, the kitty leapt into the air, snagged the fly, and brought it back to earth sandwiched between his little paws.

And then he had a snack.

And with that, summer has officially arrived.

About Jill Rosen

Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
