Cat and bird

Last night my cat bought in a live squawking sparrow. Could not get the bird out last night. Shut living room and bedroom door. Slept fitfully.

Finally got bird out this morning almost touching it behind kitchen curtain windows. Opened window eventually it flew out.

I've a few incidents with birds in the house but they were both when I got home from work recently. Did manage to get both out of the house though in one case it was unfortunately into the waiting jaws of a neighbours cat :)

Didn't sleep very well Thursday/Friday as cat had brought in a brown long-eared bat that was still alive - not well enough to fly but the problem was getting it somewhere and isolated from the cats. Took it to the vets Friday morning so they could contact a bat specialist - didn't look as if injuries were life threatening and it seemed reasonably alert when I handed it over. Did sleep much better last night.

My big problem in the summer months is the cats bringing in (male) frogs - they really do scream incredibly ... and the problem tends to be I rescue them and return them to the pond only for the cat to bring it in again 20 minutes later. Never mind I love my cats but there isn't really much you can do about the hunting instinct. Have had a long talk with the female cat who is the bat snatcher and explained that I really don't want her catching any more bats - but don't know if it will have sunk in ... my 'cat' is a bit basic.

Hope you sleep better tonight

Last night was the joy of a female frog being brought in - so no squealing but manic chasing round the bedroom - fortunately I was still reading at the time.

Hope you had a good nights sleep
