Catheads

Bella        Kendra         Daisy

Thought we'd better explain the cat head sign!  Cat heads are a particularly nasty thorn.  They're about the size of a pea, though that can vary, and have hard, sharp spikes sticking out on all sides.  They are very painful if stepped on, and can prick fingers when removing them.  They have been known to puncture bicycle tyres.
We didn't find any that day, because if there is anything sharp around, it ends up in Kendra's paw!
So the real kitties are safe around here (except from us).

    Oh, my! Those sound terrible. We have foxtails here in Southern California. Those nasty wheat-like things (at least they seem to look somewhat like wheat to ME) attach themselves to dogs and cats as they wander through grass that has them growing in it. If they get in a dogs ear they work their way down in and often have to be removed by a veterinarian. In cats, they seem to get lodged in their eyes. I know this because our old, indoor-outdoor cat got one once and the vet said in her experience, they went for cats eyes and dogs ears. Oh the nasty things of life! I'm glad none of you got caught by a cathead!

    We figured it was something like that, so glad you didn't find any. Be careful of those paws.

    Have a great weekend.

    Good thinking! Cat tails are a super fun plant that explodes when you shake it.

    Oh, whew!!! Thanks for clearing that up. I had nightmares about it last night! We have some thorns here that are like that but they're called "goatheads." I wonder if they're the same thing?
