Yum Yum! Give Me Some!!!!


Well, apparently it is a cat's nature to hunt, ie stalk, birds. Well, it is true that our natural instinct is to hunt. A mouse here and there. Maybe a bug. Perhaps a fly or another type of flying insect. But usually you humans have a habit of thinking in your minds eye, that we stalk birds.

I've not stalked a bird. Tis true, that I do feel the urge to chase them when I see them from my window. And I have watched some of the felines in the neighborhood go after birds, but rarely do they catch them.

Well, 'D' showed me a picture of a bird he took, while in Florida. I've posted it.

WOW!!! NOW THAT IS A BIRD!!!

I bet that bird would be a pain in the butt to stalk, let along catch! Apparently it's quite tall, maybe 3 or 4 feet. I am not very good a judging things like that. But, man oh man - IF I did stalk that bird, and catch him!!

I would have enough food for breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner, midnight snack, and breakfast!!!!! Probably for a week!

In all honesty, I think the bird is very pretty and graceful! I would never harm a bird like that. As with everything ..... life is precious.

Except for a bug. I'd munch that down in a heartbeat!

Music

I really do not like the sort of music 'D' listens to. It's loud, thumping, and I cannot understand a single word the singers say. Sounds like a bunch of noise to me. 'D' really seems to enjoy it. His eyes close, his head moves to and fro. I think he looks like an idiot to be honest, sitting there, bobbing to this awful sound he calls music.
I guess music to ones ear is noise to another's. What I call music is, the sound the wrapper of a slice of process cheese makes when it's peeled off. The sound of the refrid door opening. The sound of the backdoor squeeking open. The sound of hard cat food hitting the cat dish. The sound of birds that chatter outside the window. The sound of 'D&Ds' voice, each and every day.
Now, if they could make a CD of that, it would be number on one the billboard charts with a bullet.
Of course I can hear things 'D&D' cannot. I can hear them as the walk over the gravel that covered the backyard. I can hear a car door slam 1/2 a block away.
Oh, and of course, I think the whole neighborhood hears the sound when 'D&D' snore.
