one of those wonderful surprises when I awoke today, I got up as usual, half asleep stumbled into the kitchen to make coffee, opened my eyes and realized there were bird feathers everywhere..so I assume they ate the bird - never ever assume when you cats!!
I investigated further and lo and behold, there layed half an eaten bird on the kitchen floor, disgusting to say the least, all bloody and crushed, missing a head, missing feathers - gross to say the least.
I quickly walked out of the kitchen and thought to myself, I am going to throw up - how am I going to get that thing off the floor? Was this the right day to quit smoking? Apparently not! Were the cats trying to tell me something, like they don't want me to be irritable for a week? And why, oh why couldn't they have eaten the whole bird?
Slowly, breath deeply, I went in search of my last few cigarettes, I was going to need the nicotine to deal with the half chewed, half feathered thing on my kitchen floor. What I really needed was coffee but that meant going back into the kitchen and it was still there lying on the floor.
Ok, I thought to myself, just grab some paper towels, don't look and put it in the trash, don't think about it and take the trash out asap. I rounded the corner, grabbed the paper towels, took a quick look to see where it was located and closed my eyes. OMG, it was squishy. I quickly scooped it up and threw it in the trash.
I realized one of the cats was going to be sick, whoever caught the bird, must be the one with the feathers stuck in his fur, must have been one hell of a fight because the feathers are strewn about the living room, the dining room and the kitchen and I heard nothing last night except the pitful cat outside meowing to get inside upstairs.
As I went about my day, the thought of half chewed, squishy bird parts on my kitchen floor and feathers that need to be cleaned up disappeared until I walked into the house this evening and realized ick, I'm going to have to clean up and make sure there are no more little bird parts somewhere in the house.
cats and birds, why can't they just get along? why oh why must cats eat birds? And if they eat birds, why can't they just the whole thing?
