Little grey cells

I now know why Homo Sapiens have larger brains than
Felines.
I just went out for a short stroll and my two
kittens decided to tag along.
Most of the meadows are fenced off with electric
fences - these I have found to be efficient in
keeping you on the right path in the dark!
Anyway - just out of sight of the house, there is a
meadow without a fence so we walked through the
grass around its perimeter and along the edge of
the woods.
We didn't venture far into the meadow, because it
looks as if the farmers will be able to mow just
once more this year and they hate it when those
city-people have walked right across the grass!
As we reached the third side of the meadow the
house came back into view. I continued to walk
along the edge/electric fence, but the kittens
decided it would be shorter to run straight through
the middle of the cows ...
(Why is it, that cats are wary of dogs at a
distance of 500 meters but ignore the much larger
cows even at 2 meters?)
Now cows have a tendency to leave those large brown
puddles everywhere.
One of those puddles now has two perfect sets of
cat-prints in it and I have two kittens with very
smelly feet!
