So I'm standing at my kitchen door, looking out into the yard whilst I wait for dinner to finish cooking. My ginger cat (this one) walks to the doorway from inside, then suddenly sprints off across the yard.

Halfway across she launches herself into the flowerbed like a little ginger superman (or women if you want to be pedantic about it), and a rather surprised starling bolts out of the bushes, flies straight across the yard........

and bounces off the kitchen window two feet to the left of my head.

It lands on the ground looking a rather dazed - then our little ginger beastie is on it, claws and paws everywhere.

Naturally I'm cheering on the cat, impressed by its hunting prowess (bear in mind they were house-cats until we got them two years ago so this is the first thing she has caught).

Sadly my girlfriend did not quite share my point on view on the whole situation. She came running out into the garden screaming her head off. The cat runs indoors, and the bird flies onto the shed roof, minus a few obviously non-essential feathers.

Our cat then spends the next two hours sitting inside staring out of the window, in the forlorn hope that history might repeat itself.

I meanwhile appear to be in the preverbial doghouse wth my girlfriend, who is demanding to know why I did not immediately leap to the birdies rescue. Unfortunately I can't seem to reply without either a) laughing, or b) peppering my response with things like "that was awesome", or "I'm so proud of the little ginger *******" - neither of which it would appear are correct.

I think its time for you to do something "non catty"

(cool btw, but where was your camera)

Classic [rofl]

If she asks you "Don't you feel bad for the bird?"

Reply "But ginger was hungry, honey... You eat chicken, right?".

There is no reason to be "in the doghouse" just because you let your cat do something natural once in a while. And if your woman gets upset at you about that sort of thing, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Sinfest occasionally does cat/dog comics. They're fantastic.

Hahaha Chris... good stuff!

Seems to me you've got two cats on your tail now! [thumbup]

There is one thing you can do to train your kitty to behave a little better in that situation:

Find a dead bird and rub her face in it, that way it will be disgusted by the thought of dead animals and run clear of sight whenever a bird comes near.... leaving you and your ginger cat free to go and attack it! [rofl]
