Cat Views

We all know about our cats and their sometimes not so wonderful hunting abilities. Some cats really like to show off their trophies and ours was no exception. It was just around suppertime when the cat raced in to show us his prize.   It was a bird! The bird, still alive, escaped from his jaws and fluttered around the kitchen. We captured the bird and placed it safely in the cat’s carrier. The next day, we took the little bird to Game Management. They took one look at our little bird and told us it was a baby Fly-Catcher and were surprised it had survived in the carrier overnight. The carrier door was opened. The bird escaped and flew around the office. One of the gentlemen there scooped it up in his hand. When he opened up his hand, the tiny bird had a firm grip with his little beak on a finger. He commented, “This one is a survivor”.

We brought the carrier home and the cat crawled in looking for his bird. After discovering the bird was missing, he looked at us and spit, scooted out of the carrier and furiously stalked outside with his ears flattened. He had to go and replace his trophy!
