From Bermuda, with teeth

Cats &
Attacks

Cats I understand. Attacks I cannot leave alone.

Meet Clara

A civilized woman with rather uncivilized interests.

I grew up in Hyde Park and was educated at St. Paul’s, where a modest natural-history prize briefly suggested a more serious future as a marine biologist.

Instead, I married badly, raised a family, divorced perfectly, and eventually settled at Point Shares in Bermuda, overlooking Hamilton Harbour.

I live here with Monty, who is tolerating my rather late return to the subject — along with an increasingly difficult-to-explain interest in cats, attacks, and the videos people insist on making of both.

Today’s Attack

A great white eats the camera. Carlos keeps filming.

Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna gets extraordinarily close to a juvenile great white — close enough for the shark to put his underwater camera in its mouth.

“Do not allow the word juvenile to reassure you.” — Clara

Today’s Cat

A cat attempts something unnecessarily athletic.

A determined cat sizes up a windowsill and commits completely. Clara is less interested in the landing than in the astonishing fact that the animal made an effort at all.

“This is already quite foreign to Monty.” — Clara
