“9Lives” to the Rescue!

With all the snow we have had – lots of ice and snow covered ground for the last two weeks –guess what shows up?     The “Sunset Cat” – herself!

Since we had so much snow and the ground was covered with the thick white stuff – there was no way the birds could get a good meal – so we put out more bird feeders – even on our deck- and you know who comes for a visit to my back door – the “Sunset Cat”  and always to my door. Well, with the bad weather – the “Sunset Cat” found a safe place to keep warm and find a free meal? “I’m guessing” because no one owns a “cat” they own you. They show up and you hurry to please them and as long as you please them – they will continue to visit you – since cats like the “royal” treatment they receive from some of their friends.

Like I have been telling everyone, the birds of all “NATIONS” and “KINDS” have found a free meal here, as well as the old squirrel, who eats  and or likes something in the bird feed – just as if  it was a good “nut” for them to enjoy and scare the poor birds away! So, a new job for me is to be a “police man” and run off the old squirrel. So, when I do not see the birds eating – there has to be a good reason – someone big enough to eat “birds”  is lurking around  – that’s when I go in for the running off of  the old “critters” that are not nice to birds.

Yesterday, shortly after having put fresh food in the feeders – no birds – flying in for a free meal? Looking out on the deck- who do you think is sitting on the rail watching all the birds fly by and then away – wondering – who invited a cat? I had a small amount of cat food and fed the cat. After awhile the cat left – and a long time after her departure – the birds did start to come back for a meal. Would you believe the “SUNSET Cat” returned for a second meal – the same day?

My son, Al went to the store and picked up a bag of “9Lives” – just for the Sunset Cat! I told the cat, as if she understands a word that I’m saying – “we all have to share our space – and if she runs into problems – this “9Lives” will help her to live longer!”

We will see what happens!
