Kelly's soon to be released book, Hawkists, will be coming out later this month. The print proof is due to arrive tomorrow.
In anticipation of a book signing event, I went online and found a small, realistic plush falcon, the closest real looking bird I could find to a hawk, nd ordered it as a prop for the event. It arrived yesterday and it realistic enough from a distance despite it being a plush toy (Hansa makes these remarkably realistic, expensive, plush toys).
I had it in the kitchen last night to clip the booklet attached to it off it's body. Riley Beans jumped up into his chair to see what I was doing. I showed him the falcon. Cats by nature are curious. He was not afraid of it, but rather he pushed his nose against its beak several times. Kelly snapped a picture of him 'kissing' the falcon with my cellphone. I set the toy bird on the table and he lay in his chair gazing up at it.
Riley has a new friend- the falcon.
