In general, they only hunt birds when they are weaning kittens. At all other times the birds eat the kibble right out of the cat dishes, which is pretty annoying.

When your Mom has amassed a pillow’s worth of dove and mocking bird feathers in the last month, Jams, you know they can be caught and eaten. Ms Underhouse is the best predator I’ve seen in the last decade. I’m hoping that the end of weening will convince her to go back to kibble and what shows up at the feeding station.

Oh, sure, forget that Lucrezia looked cute at this age, and I’m sure that Ted did too, but the evil will out in the end.

Actually, his/her sibling was popping up behind and I was trying to get both of them. The ‘blue’ was sleeping about a foot away, but so was Mom, so the ‘blue’ couldn’t be attacked.
