So funny I have three macaws and seven cats but they respect each other’s boundaries, well done Kelli

Engaging poetry, Marugu. Well written with great imagery. Cat will be cats; I watch the neighbor's cat stalking birds sometimes. She can be very quiet and move so smoothly and slow, then ponce. I've never seen her miss. I enjoyed reading your poetry. Thank you for following my poetry, I'm following yours also, Marugu. Have a fine day. Bill

Thanks for your visit Inky. He stayed away from them after the pebble landed near him. Was quite hilarious considering how playful he was

Interesting. Well done. I had a wild Bengal Mix for 22 years. I miss him a lot. I hope you have a good day :)

Thanks Heidi. Mine was a mix of African savanna and some other breeds. Really tough claws and matted fur, quite a character. Cats are special

Gosh it is an actual lion. Or is your own feral type cat in the neighborhood? Very interesting. Our poor ginger cat escaped our house and it has snowed and rained for four days. I am so sad to think of him dead or hurt somewhere. We are close to mountains and bobcats are known to come down to the streets!!

I Hope your ginger comes home Andrea, Tibbles got killed late Last year, she is missed.'

The cat was a domestic tabby, just that he loved to go out the whole night, come back and sleep all day. Never really harmed any chicken :). Not that I know of. I hope your ginger will come back. Cats can be resilient
