Cats and Birds, again
Well? You gonna help me, or what? |
I say 'used to' because the laundry door was always left open for the cats to come in and out, and the birds quickly learned to do the same.
The cheeky sods were always a feather's breadth from being eaten, much to Noomi's displeasure. They learned to sit on the gutter, look for where the cats were and then pop in for a feed.
If the bowl wasn't there, or if they got nosey, I would occasionally find one wandering into the hallway, and once one got trapped by an incoming cat and made it's 'escape' into the lounge...causing all sorts of excitement.
So, it was not altogether unprecedented to find a stranger in the house when I returned home one day. Took me a while to work out what was different in the lounge, then I realised that there was a pair of eyes following me around the room. Seems one of the younger generation made a wrong turn, and was quietly waiting to see if it could get out of this situation.
and yes, Lily was asleep on the chair next to where the bird was waiting ...
So much for those killer instincts. She'd be very interested if it was flying around the house, and Noomi would definitely eat it, but she was asleep in the office.
