Cat and Bird

There was a commotion in our hearth room…Sooty, our male cat, was at the window working with rapt attention at the glass. When I took a closer look, I realized there was a bird on the brick ledge on the other side of the window.

It apparently was not intimidated by the actions of the cat since it stayed where it was for a few minutes to taunt the cat with its back. The bird had an excellent view of our bird feeders below. It might have been finishing up some seed it had retrieved previously.

We have three indoor cats – we don’t inflict non-native predators on our neighborhood. In our previous house, we had a screened in area of the deck that our cats enjoyed (outdoors but separated from the birds and other wildlife) but the windows seem to provide sufficient stimulation to our cats in this house.
