Andy’s up to something…!
Not sleeping there today.
There’s a clue, I think….
Aw, yeah! The mockingbird comes to torment Andy, too!
That is an evil bird.
It is a well known quality of this “boid”!
That mocking birdie is gonna get the what’s for!
Every day, if Dougy wants it. Andy is less playful, but does enjoy catching the mockingbird!
He is not as actively hunting it as Dougy does, though. I think he is biding his time, waiting for a sure chance.
Andy has a more subtle hunt style where he stays in the open and is very still till the “prey” happens by. I learned to handfeed pine siskins by watching a neighbor cat use this style of hunting. Of course, if you have to move in closer, you do it with the least amount of action. The “prey” is a bit alarmed, but settles down quickly. Little by little, the kitty gets right where he needs to be for the kill!
It’s amazing how different their personalities are, and you are always providing great insights into their behaviors, Doug.
Thanks! I find them endlessly fascinating to observe. It comes out of not having cats until after I retired. I just didn’t realize how interesting their behavior can be till I lived with several (four total) since 2009.
Doug, I grew up with cats and almost always had them in the house, but I still find them fascinating and entertaining to observe.
Andy oeserves with intensity the lure but is not caught !! 🙂 Intelligent , this cat! 🙂

Please ,Doug, read : Andy observes…..
I makes so many typos with my typing style and niumb fingers that I actually read my ewrrtors and the errors of other withboput any prtoblem!
Her has the more subtle huinting method of the two kitty boys: he waits in the open, a method that requires stealth and patience!
That mockingbird won’t quit. 🙂
I know! You’d think it’d learn, but I’m beginning to think it is masochistic!
is that berd still alive? wow a miracle… but now it is time for berd-spring cleaning huh?
The kitty boys have tried and tried to chew it to pieces, believe me, but they aren’t as efficient at it as are da Nellie and da Phenny. Perhaps I should send them to France on the QE2 cruise ship to learn from the pros! They can show you how to handle live birds…KILL! KILL! KILL!
