Cat-bird saga conclusion....

Here is the end of the cat-bird saga. It began about two weeks ago and was interspersed with The Eloquent Tail if you want to read it beginning to end.


Wings in face, the trance is broken
And the senseless kitty stirs.
Through the door the stalker darts
Into the safety of the house.
Once inside the cat is breathless
While the other cat seems amused

What’s the moral of this story?
My answer is there are two, in fact:
A mother will protect her young
And curiosity could kill a cat



-- I should say, for any animal lovers, no cat was injured and there still are three (so cute!) baby birds in the fern hanging from our porch. Unfortunately, the porch is just beneath our bedroom window, so around dawn, those three crying birds are a little less cute. My cats still sit by the window and cry, but neither attempts to run outside when the door is opened. :)
