I was sitting on the porch this evening and one of the stray cats (who looks remarkably like Pet Talk's Edwina) was laying under the back of my car under the bumper. The car was backed into my driveway so I got a 'birds eye' view of the following event. I glimpsed movement to the left. A bird too young to know cats are not a birds best friend, was hopping toward the cat. The bird was so cute! No grown-up feathers yet but little feathers sticking straight up on his head giving him a 'bad hair day' look. There was no way I could get to him in time. He hopped right up to the cat. He hopped right on top of the cat. He hopped right over the cat. The cat just blinked like, 'what was that?' The bird stayed under the car hopping around then it would try and hop up on a tire. It hopped back on the cat. It hopped back over the cat and was again under the cats nose. It hopped back on the cat once more. I finally got to the scene. I figured the bird's luck would run out sooner or later and the cat would want a snack. The little bird eventually hopped out and saw me. I was able to shoo it to a low rock wall that drops down from the sidewalk. It has bushes and shrub trees there. At least he had protection. His parents were going nuts. Such tweeting and chirping. I could just hear them, "Where's junior? What do you mean you don't know? Can't you watch him for five minutes? Oh, My Goodness. JUNIOR!!!!!"
