My girls would like this, they are cat people all three. Me, i'm a dog man and they bark at clouds, so in the winter they are noisy and in the cloudless summers here in Cyprus they are quiet .....unless they spot a passing butterfly and get confused !! God Bless. Dave.

A lot of action coming after this moment.

The cats might think the birds are there for their leisure and entertainment? Oh Daver, but the seeds and bread sound like a fine picnic! Gertrude Stein wrote that "a rose is a rose", but one may also say that a cat is a cat.:)) best wishes,love, Mikki

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Hope the birds are shaprp or the cat is old. Maybe you should put it on a leash Dave. Picnic time is coming isn't it!
