And here I was pissing and moaning because my cat woke me at 6:30 this AM by leaping on the headboard - bookcase style - and knocking books on my head.

I'd have pooped myself. I can't ha...Oh my goodness. I'd have pooped myself. I can't handle birds. The last time one flew through my house, I went screaming to a neighbour. She couldn't catch it either, so we both went screaming to another neighbour. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, neighbour #3 is a major animal lover and could have dealt with the bird, but it went to fly out the closed back door, headbutted the glass, and fell on the floor. Dead.<BR/><BR/>I can't even pick them up like that. <BR/><BR/>The other week, my older male cat tried to errr, 'do the rudies' with my female kitten. In the living room, in full view of everyone. He got a smacked ass, and I sent him outside.<BR/><BR/>So, because he'd been naughty, he caught us a starling, killed it, and left it on the patio.<BR/><BR/>Nice.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, a couple of days later, bird still there, my younger boy kitten (the one who died) decided he'd quite like to fling the bird around for a bit.<BR/><BR/>Now, I have a stable door as my back door and I smoke with my arm out of the top half. Kitty is flinging the bird around, then decides I might like to have it, so he jumped, bird in mouth, up at the door.<BR/><BR/>I squealed, dropped my ciggy outside, and shuddered at the feel of wet, dead bird feathers on my arm. I called kitty a nasty name beginning with B and preceded by 'little', brought my arm back in, and shut the top half of the door.<BR/><BR/>Ugh. Can we say freaked? I like bird watching, but if any come near me, that's it. I'm fit for the funny farm.<BR/><BR/>:o)Emmy Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348320835897735088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144727781552044864.post-47811728634060685752009-03-15T16:44:00.000-07:002009-03-15T16:44:00.000-07:00Faith, Love your story, when you're not sleep depr...Faith, <BR/>Love your story, when you're not sleep deprived you'll find it hilarious.<BR/>If your bathroom has a laundry chute, check to see if it is open to your attic, then check your attic to see where any openings are.
