Koala has always enjoyed watching the birds and the squirrel that come
into my back yard to eat the seeds, bread and peanuts I put out, and drink from the pan of water I change each day. However, he's usually content to just watch, unless one of the critters comes too close to the sliding glass door. However, this morning he became very agitated. He got vocal, and he jumped on the glass a few times. There were a few crows coming and going, and they were what had him excited. I'm not sure whether it's because they're so big, so shiny and black, or what, but he definitely showed a lot more interest than usual. After the crows left, he got in a very playful mood. Joy |

He wants to be like that kitten who befriended a crow. Since Buster's been so interested in springtime birds lately, I took him outside briefly today. I don't think he liked it - he became very low and slinky. |

He wants to be like that kitten who befriended a crow. Maybe he even wants a ride. ;-) Since Buster's been so interested in springtime birds lately, I took him outside briefly today. I don't think he liked it - he became very low and slinky. Koala seems to have had enough of being outside. When I got him they told me he was "still a little bit feral", and wasn't used to people. He spent his first three weeks in my house under the bed, except for eating, drinking and using the litter box. I'm amazed at how far he's come. However, he shows no interest in going outside. He never goes near the front door or the door into the garage when I go in or out. I open the sliding glass door when I go to get the birdseed, and he goes to it to watch, but he always backs off when I come in with the seed and open the screen. I suspect he had some pretty unpleasant experiences before he was taken to the shelter. Joy |

He KNOWS what's out there, and he wants nothing to do with it!' Fin was a 'tossed' cat, thrown out as soon as he wasn't a cute kitten anymore. There is a special place in Hell for people who do that.

Joy Some of them don't like crows. Crows are noisy. They have formidable beaks. Crows harrass them in groups. They will want back inside when they hear crows. |

Joy Some of them don't like crows. Crows are noisy. They have formidable beaks. Crows harrass them in groups. They will want back inside when they hear crows. There is a squirrel that often comes into my back yard to get the peanuts I put out. If a crow comes into the yard and he thinks it's too close, he'll chase the crow, and it flies away. One day, though, the squirrel was out there and four crows arrived. He chased one of them, and it flew away a short distance, then came back. Then the four crows lined up in a row and started walking toward him. At that point, the squirrel decided he needed to be someplace else. Joy |
