Cats being annoyed by birds

Some very tolerant cats there. Given one of ours takes out pigeons, I am not sure she'd be so relaxed.

Saying that, we had a cat who would sit out with the wild birds and share their bread. We'd have the sparrows and so on all mooching around him to get to the bread as well.....

Wouldn't have recommended that with the cats we had.

They acquired specialist bird killing skills (think Bird hitman). This regularly included Seagulls, Crows, Pigeons (and if they could get at them) the neighbours budgie collection.

Proper lethal predators those cats

Our Maine Coon Lucy (so a 6kg cat!) used to get picked on by magpies everytime she went in the garden!! Always knew when she was out due to the noise they'd make they never picked on my other two smaller cats.

Stupid cat lies on the ground or sits on the shed roof as they hop around her squawking. They didn't seem to do it as much last yr though. It's not that she has never caught a bird (though a rare occurrence) or won't hunt either?!

1:50: "Slap"!

I'd swear some birds are smart enough to have a sense of humour.

I once watched a magpie lead a cat up to the very highest branches of an apple tree, then, when the cat was teetering on the thinnest possible twig, the bird flew to the next tree and waited for the cat to start the whole process again.
