2. My cat went after a Great Blue Heron that had landed in our yard
by mistake. Cats really do see themselves as big jungle cats. :D

5. Did he make it home alive?
A friend of mine has a koi pond in the backyard, and a heron who loves to visit. She mad a little shelter for the fish to hide under when Mr Heron shows up.

4. I don't think that cat knows how close it is to being lunch.

10. Had one of our barn cats catch and kill a pheasant once.
She and the others ate the damn thing, too.

12. Sometimes they do get ambitious.
Once I saw a white-tailed deer run through our back yard, with a couple of tabby cats in hot pursuit. I could imagine them thinking something like, "If we can pull this off, we'll eat like kings!"

13. My six pound Nola
tried to take down a turkey in the yard one day. She was doing the whole fanny wiggle routine getting ready to pounce. Do have a cat that has brought home two rabbits though. He is 20 lbs. And could probably take down such a bird.

16. Truth be told, he is a gentle giant
The vet thinks he is 90 percent cat, and 10 percent something else, maybe lynx. He is such a baby, when he sits on my lap to get some lovin' he gets so emotional that it effects his breathing and he starts to almost have an asthmatic attack.

24. Gosh, Mine Only Drools
My cat sometimes gets so excited to be pet that she starts drooling all over the place.

19. MIne makes the little stalking "chirp" while she watches deer outside
I think she thinks they are big mice or something.

22. First time my old city boys saw deer in their new country yard
they went into major dog in the yard alert! Jumped on me in bed and insisted I come to the window to see the big ass chihuahuas in the yard!

26. That's kinda how my eldest kitty is!
One evening last summer, a doe came up to the LR window and looked in! I thought the furbaby was gonna go crazy. She also runs from window to window watching them as they move around the house -- sometimes 4-10 doe will walk through the yard.

Don't even get me started about when she sees fawns. She SO knows she could take on of them down.... she's all of seven-pounds, so I think she's having some catnip dreams, there...

27. There are many ambitious kitties...
Edited on Fri Feb-17-06 08:07 AM by Scooter24
Like for instance, take Colby...the first kitty ever to hold an executive MBA degree.


PHILADELPHIA -- Colby Nolan (pictured, left) is probably the first animal to hold this distinction -- an executive MBA from a university.
