White-tailed jackrabbits are fairly common throughout western North America.
The even make the neighbourhoods around downtown Calgary, Alberta home.
Still, it was pretty exciting when my rescue cat, Sheldon, a stray found wandering on the outskirts of the city little more than a year ago, came whisker-to-whisker with one very snowy-white hare.
Well, through a window, anyway.

The stare down was intense.
At least for the cat.
