CAT TELEVISION

The birds have finally discovered the feeder I got for my birthday. It hangs outside my dining room window. When the chickadees show up, Guinness sits on the window ledge, eyes boring into birds, mouth quivering as he emits sharp little sounds. This morning he froze, transfixed while Herbie ate both their breakfasts

Actually both cats are enjoying the new bird show. It’s like cat television -- a useful diversion that keeps them amused while I work in the kitchen. Years ago, Sesame Street served the same purpose for my kids.
