At this time of the year it could have been a baby sparrow which are
easier to catch . I hope Jackie gets better soon. Alison "dgk" wrote in message ... I let the boys out into the backyard after getting home. A couple of minutes later Nipsy comes running in with a bird in his mouth. A little sparrow. I never thought he could actually catch one. It wasn't even dead when I saw that he had it but it wasn't going to be getting better. Then he finished it off. Ugh. I feel horrible. Sure, birds die all the time but I'm never going to let the cats out again without making enough noise so that all the birds get out first. Espy appears to be jealous. ----------------------- Jackie (the new sick girl) is still too sick to be out much but she seems to be putting on some weight. I can't feel quite EVERY bump in her spine. The vet said that after another week or so we'll try for some more blood for further testing. I finally found out what he was talking about when he said that he couldn't get blood out of her. I had some trouble getting her to eat the antibiotic and tried to hold her while putting the dropper into her mouth. Wow, did she put up a fight! Nothing was going down that throat. A little while later she ate it all with her food. Dave |

A cat kiling a bird is only instint. I sure dont like to deal with it
but you cant expect a cat to not be a cat. I keep mine in as i live in an apartment complex and do not want her to get run over. i actually found her abondened in this complex. she still loves to look and peer out the window at the birds. cant expect her to not be who she it. |

I know that it's just Darwin at play and Nipsy was improving the sparrow species by killing off a slow one, but seeing that little eye blinking and the big hole in the side with blood seeping out really didn't make my day. |
