Sasha here....

Edwina, we have those big black birds at our house also, and they are always teasing me, flying from the tree by the window where I sit and protect the house to someplace else. (Okay, sometimes they scare me cuz I don't expect them to come zooming past and then Meowmie laughs at me! ) My Meowmie also says they are mean and that I should look at them from a distance.

We also have smaller birds out the sliding glass door in the dining room, and I think I could take one of them. They like to eat and they seem slower. I have seen some of my outdoor kitty friends get one or two.... it looks like fun, but also is gross. One day last summer, one of my buddies had a birdie buffet out on the patio. Meowmie was gone, and came home to find bird remnants on the concrete. I saw it all. I WANT ONE! But Meowmie says that she is worried about some bird flu thing and that she wants me to stick with my indoor food rather than having a birdie feast. Normally I am the boss, but I think I will agree with her on this one since I don't like goinf to the white coats.

Keep an eye on things from the distance. P.S..... I liked the story about Blondie getting locked out! I may have to try that here also.
