Here's an interesting cat eye color: BLUE!
BACKSTORY: Dave & Lacey brought over a kitten for Clint & Carolyn to try out. This poor kitten did not fit into our family. He was terrified of Clint, somewhat scared of Carolyn, and basically was ONLY interested in hiding behind piles of clutter large enough that human beings can't get to him. Completely anti-social and a nervous wreck. So 2 days later, we gave the kitten back to Dave & Lacey, as Lacey had stated we could if we didn't like it. He ultimately found a new home with other animals and kids and we hear the kitten was much happier and doing well. And he's probably still alive, too, which is more than we can say for poor little Beavis. Dave & Lacey's kid nicknamed the kitten Runny, because he kept running away, but he did eventually get a real name. We never found out what it was, and it doesn't really matter. Look at his feet shaking! This guy was an intellectual wimp. He had no place in our household. We require strong cats.

Common Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) - Rollins Savanna, Lake County Forest Preserve District, near Grayslake, IL - 5 June 2011
My memory says that this turtle measured ~18" long head-to-tail. I sent the images to a naturalist at LCFPD for identification. In addition to the name, she added that these turtles spend most of their lives sitting on the bottom of rivers and ponds. This out-of-water wandering is likely to find a place to build a nest and lay eggs. This turtle is probably a female looking for such a place.
