    Default The Cat has taken to the trees

    Our next door neighbour's cat has now taken to climbing the Amelanchier tree to chase the birds, not very successfully I might add, but it is quite funny to watch. The birds are quite happy to use the tree at the same time though.

    She however doesn't stay there for long after she sees me opening the garden door.

    I think it's all a matter of hope over experience... it can't be easy to move quickly enough through that tree to catch a bird, but when it's semi-naked as well the cat can't even hide! Sometimes they aren't the brightest of creatures

    I love cats. I miss my Chocky very much . But yes , they are very daft. Our white one Dillicus , poor cat was subjected to drawn on spectacles or a ringed tail and some time a pink hair do. She could never catch the birds.
