Yes, but this 'tree creeper' would make short work of Ron's (& native birds here too)!

We had one of those!

Very amusing Mark. That species turns up in my garden too but I have to say that I prefer the feathered variety. A couple of nice 'kitty' shots Mark and John (if you like that sort of thing.)

Thanks Ross, John and Ron, each for your entertaining comments!

I should mention that I am not a 'pets person' but this young feline has made its home in the garden and somehow inveigled its way into my heart!

They do that!

But consider fitting Morky with a collar and bell, to help protect the local birdlife!

I've heard of one clever cat being able to hold the bell in its mouth to silence it while it crept up on its prey. Maybe a bell big enough to drag on the ground might work.

Well firstly Morky isn't my cat, one of my neighbours seems to have adopted him.

Secondly, Morky will likely weed out the slow birds thus ensuring that only the quick survive - something to do with Dartwin's Origin of the Species and all that stuff ain't it? Although you Ross are probably not an evolutionist!

The theory is fine except that domestic cats are not natural preditors that have evolved alongside their prey!

Like you Mark I'm not a cat fan but I have to say the eyes are a very striking colour.

Nevertheless, the weak get culled, the quick survive to pass on their genes to smarter birds.

Actually a golden colour Huw - most unusual I believe.

Very amusing!
