Thanks, bud.

Cam,
Those are excellent close ups of the jays. As a side note, your parents would attract a greater variety of birds if they were using raw, shelled peanuts. Woodpeckers, titmice, wrens & nuthatches love 'em.......Rob

Cool pics, Cam. I can no longer keep food in my bird feeder since my cat has become such a good birder. It seems cruel to lure them in and then watch Max tear them apart. Plus, I am the one that has to finish off/dispose of the birds after he tears their wings off.

We have a cat too....left over from my daughters's teenage years. The Cat is a stone cold killer. She always decapitates her victims and sometimes devours the edible parts. On a given day a couple of years back, while weeding in the front garden, I found a lizard, frog, squirrel, wren and chipmunk - all missing their heads.....

Busy kitty.

I just keep mine indoors all the time.

I'm afraid that I would end up decapitated.

Once an outdoor cat, always an outdoor cat, I think. The litter box is the worst part, not because of odor, I use the clumping kind that covers up all odors, but because of the dust. That dust can go everywhere if not contained. Right now it's in the bathroom under an unused vanity, so most of the dust gets contained except for a single side that's opened.

This is article about man being charged with animal cruelty after his dog kills a raccoon.

Thanks again, guys.

Rob, thanks for the tip .

David, good call on removing the food from the feeder !

Better not let that DA go on a racoon hunt - although I am sure that most racoon hunts are carried out in a humane, politically correct way....
