“Tabby, since I put the birdhouse outside you are sitting at the window all day.”
“That is not quite true Mrs. Human, only when I am not eating or sleeping, although perhaps you could move my food bowl and bed in front of the window. I do not want to miss any of the action.”
“The birdhouse is not a feline TV station, but a place where the birds can find food enough in the cold winter months.”
“And what about me?”
“What about you?”
“I also have to find food in the cold winter months. I was convinced that this bird canteen was for I, my and myself. A welcome change to my boring diet of vitamin pellets.”
“Tabby you have never had to hunt for your food like the birds. If I did not feed them they would have nothing to eat in the cold weather and die.”
“You mean they rely on you to grow fat and healthy in the winter months.”
“Of course.”
“OK, no problem, feed them Mrs. Human, let them have a well-fed happy life with lots of meat on their bones.”
“Where are you going Tabby?”
“Outside Mrs. Human. The sparrows are now picking around the ground on the seeds that have fallen off the birdhouse. I want to help them to find their food.”
“I did not know your were such a bird lover.”
“Of course I am Mrs. Human. I have now had time to observe them through the window and have made my choice.”
“Choice?”
“Yes for a complement to my food. I am only getting vitamin pellets, and a nice addition of bird would help me to survive in the cold winter months. Perhaps you could build a cathouse outside. Equality for all animals etc.”
Dear Tabby, A fresh warm bird is a yummy snack, I agree. Yours forever and ever, Dusty T. Dog

You see, cats and dogs do have a common denominator. Warm is always best, makes it easier on the digestion. I must remember to ask Mrs. Human if should could perhaps roast the next one, or perhaps that might not be a good idea.

Oh, right. I remember when you told me the birdhouse was close to your windows, I thought “Oh, she’ll get great pictures.” I forgot that it would be live entertainment for Tabby!

It is a cat TV station for Tabby. She can while away the winter watching BirdTV. Meanwhile today my Polly startled me by almost catching a bird. We were enjoying the sunshine in the back garden and I was watching her stalking what I thought must be a bug as I could not see it. The she pounced and a bird flew out of a low shrub. Miss Polly will be in trouble with me if she does that again.

It is tragic when the cats catch a bird as they play a.game with them first of all. We have had to put an end to their misery. We had three cats. Now we only have Tabby and she has become an elderly lady with her 15 years and just likes to watch them.

My previous cats all hunted but Polly has been mainly an inside cat. I let her out to do her business and she is too lazy to jump the fence so I don’t mind her playing in the back garden if I am nearby. Up to now she’s never killed a bird but she would if she could. I hope to have a cat enclosure at the next house.

My cats could all go out but they always brought their trophies home unfortunately.
