We brought it to our cat's attention, after we said a little blessing for it....and now she's actually eating it. I think it helped that it was still warm.
Was that terrible of me?
"Circle of Life" and all that.... :D

Is it terrible of me that I find that funny? :rofl:
Well, after all, you didn't kill it.

:spank: or :yourock: I'll decide when I stop laughing.
And for Shine: it's terrible when a bird hits the window. We had a goldfinch incident a few years ago and decided to leave the body on the patio for the night creatures. Either a cat or a vulture carried it off.

4. I was the shadow of the waxwing slain |

By the false azure of the windowpane I was the smudge of ashen fluff -- and I Lived on, flew on, in the reflected sky.

Used to have that happen when I lived in Reno. And the birds would also make nests under the roof, entering/leaving by those circle vent holes under the eave. Looked up one day to see a dead one hanging by its neck/head stuck in the hole. x(
re: your kitty eating the bird: Birds carry lice, and all sorts of other vermin and bacterial pests. Hope your kitty has some sort of protection.
