The Scavengers

It hangs outside my window on the big shepherd hook. Filled with food for all those who comes to eat from it. Many scavengers land on the brim. Eating the seeds left there for them. So many colors, shapes and sizes are visit the feeder daily. As they come and go seeds fall to the ground below. Squirrels, are waiting patiently to gobble down the seeds. Inside sits 3 kitties watching through the windows making their soft music tails swishing back and forth. The outside visitors pay them no mind and keep eating. Than it happens quick as a wink Louie takes a leap against the glass. He looks over at me with such a look. Mommy, why didn't you warn me about the glass begin there? His pride wounded he jumps down. The show is over now they all jump down and curl up dreaming that tomorrow they will have bird soup for dinner.

This is so cute. I can identify with this because we have a bird feeder, a wild cat named Garfield, and a mutt named Rocket. Garfield is too lazy to go after the birds, and Rocket is too dumb lol to go after Garfield. Great write. Matt
