How can I have a yard so full of birds and still be surprised at the other nuisances that might come along with their song-birdy joy?
In the last week or so, I've discovered there is a stray cat that cannot resist the siren calls issuing forth from my trees and feeders. And who also finds my back stoop, right next to three feeders, to be a cozy place to stretch out or to curl up.
About a year ago, I blogged about a feline menace that was unable to resist the birdy attractions of my yard. She was a beautiful yellow cat and, were it not for the fact that we have competing notions about my hospitality, I might enjoy having her on my lap and giving her a good rub.
Unfortunately, because she terrorized and occasionally slaughtered my birds (and left cat upchuck on my porch from time to time), I'm not sure she'd be limited to getting a rubbing if she sat in my lap. Maybe a rubbing-out?
Of course, you know I just talk big.
I imagine this year's yellow cat to be an off-spring of last year's unwelcome visitor...she just looks and acts younger and more kitten-like. And I don't think last year's damn cat had the patch of white on her neck and upper chest that this year's model does.

Oh, she is really, really cute!
What Roediger House needs is a house cat! Let that cutie indoors to run amok and she'll probably leave your birds alone.
