Stick to regular canned cat-food, it’s dryer that way… and no surprises too.

Peekaboo, no offense, but that bird could take you. Easily.

Most cats don’t bother with birds bigger than them. With very good reason.

How about making yourself useful, cat, and going after garden voles instead?

I thought Peekaboo called herself a kitten.

Peekaboo is running the risk of getting goosed (if you’ll pardon the expression).

Is that bird a goose making a swan dive?

Doesn’t Peekaboo usually call herself a kitten?

Cats who are fed well don’t look at any bird or animal as food. If they capture something, they’re more than likely going to play with it and kill it by instinct rather than because they’re hungry. Have you ever seen one play with a toy mouse? They grab it and shake it then toss it. That’s what they do to a live animal too if they manage to catch one. I know because my cat does that and will kill it before I can get to her to try to rescue the animal. And believe me, I race out of the house if I see her with something. She’s an indoor/outdoor cat and does bring home the voles and mice as gifts for me but so far this summer has also captured 2 baby rabbits. I really try to keep her in during baby season but she can slip out so fast.

No, I think it is a swan just ducking in for a quick drink.

Haha Peek- you look silly

Considering a swan can break a human leg with its wings, Peekaboo better take the water and stay clear.

I had a totally blind cat. She used to catch birds all the time until one day she caught a big pigeon and it just about beat her senseless with it’s wings. After that, she left them strictly alone. She couldn’t see how BIG they were. She wasn’t a very big cat.

You’re asking for a Flagging big time!

Cat lovers care, so please be nice in your comments or say nothing at all.

Poor Peekaboo, better get inside so Rose can dry you off…hopefully.

My cat, Rags, saw a wild turkey outside our bay window where she loved to sit. Her eyes got as big as 50 cent pieces! She stayed still, and watched for as long as the turkey was there. She didn’t do her usual routine that she did when there were birds out there. Usually, she crouched down, wiggled her tush, and made aah-aah noises. She seemed to e in shock watching the turkey.

I have nesting doves on my deck and patio from February through the early Fall. I have had to chase a well-fed cat away several times this year at night that has attacked the nest and mother bird on my deck (off the second floor of my house). It knocked the mother down one time and I picked the bird up and moved her (with the cat screaming at me for having its bird). I love animals but cat owners/lovers need to be as responsible with their pets as dog owners are expected to be. In other words, keep your animal out of my yard and off my property!
