SUNDAY MORNING, I noticed Dudo sitting and staring at the drain hole on the terrace and I knew the crag martins were back (click here). A moment later, I saw them flit in front of the glass curtain on the terrace. Dudo hunched a bit lower and his tail slapped the floor. Later in the day, Moose was at it. First after our siesta together when he jumped onto the dresser and began to make those cute little gurgling noises that say, "Come here little birdie and I'll eat you." When that wasn't close enough, he headed outside.

| DUDO, SUNDAY MORNING. DUDO, EL DOMINGO POR LA MAÑANA. |
EL DOMINGO POR la mañana, me di cuenta de que Dudo estaba sentado mirando fijamente el agujero del drenaje en la terraza y supe que los roqueros estaban de vuelta (haz clic aquí). Un momento después, los vi revolotear frente a la cortina de vidrio en la terraza. Dudo se agachó un poco más y su cola golpeó el suelo. Más tarde en el día, Moose estaba en eso. Primero, después de nuestra siesta juntos, cuando saltó sobre la cómoda y comenzó a hacer esos pequeños sonidos de gorgoteo que dicen: "Ven aquí, pajarito y te comeré". Cuando eso no estaba lo suficientemente cerca, se dirigió hacia afuera.

You know what is going to keeps the cats busy for a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteTravel,
DeleteMonths.
These may be your best puss pictures yet!!!!! Your boys would love my window sill.
ReplyDeleteMaddie,
DeleteThey would go nuts in your windowsill. And they would drive ou crazy whining for you to open it.
This looks like an 'all alert'!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days they will get lucky......for them not the birds!
I love it when cats do their 'chattering' sound.
Jim,
DeleteDudo got lucky inexpensive... with a sparrow. He’s come close a couple of times since.
I do love me some pu...uh, kitty porn! Dudo and Moose, a perfect pile of purring pleasure.
ReplyDeleteDeedles,
DeleteYeah, yeah, while Moose sinks his teeth into Dudo’s side!
Well, no kitty is perfect, Mitchell! My late cat, Barnaby, once caught a hummingbird in midflight. Shocked the hell out of him, then he proceeded to mangle it. Cats, such beautiful and evil critters :)
DeleteWell, you'll always know where to find them for the next few months.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteDudo keeps selecting spots he thinks hide him from the birds.
They're on duty; such good little bird dogs,er, cats.
ReplyDeleteAround here Consuelo is our birder and she is quite good at spotting them.Tuxedo and MaxGoldberg really cannot be bothered.
Bob,
DeleteThese two are obsessed.
When we brought our 13-yr old cat down here, she loved to sit on the screened in veranda that was at tree height and watch all the birds. She would chatter at them and would get so excited if they ever landed on the other side of the screen. I don't think she had quite the focus (obsession?) that Dudo and Moose have, though. They are INTENT. Your photos capture the tension so well.
ReplyDeleteWilma,
DeleteThey really are obsessed. Our California cats were different. One showed no interest and the other ran and hid from humming birds.
Looks like they and you will have a very interesting time now.
ReplyDeletecheers, parsnip
Parsnip,
DeleteThey obsess watching the birds and I obsess watching them watching the birds.
Cute kitties
ReplyDeleteAdam,
DeleteYep. Just ask them.
darling boys!
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
DeleteOur pals. Such sweethearts.
That'll keep them busy for a while, ever hopeful. your beautiful tuxedo lads.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
DeleteThis will occupy them for months.
The one cat's looking at the drain hole, whereas the other one's more focused on the plant. Cats may be curious, but not always about the same thing.
ReplyDeleteKirk,
DeleteBut not for long and only because he saw a shadow on the walll of the birds flying by.
My sweet temperament cats would turn into fiends at the sight of a bird; they would bare fangs and gag with hatred. It was quick a sight.
ReplyDeleteSpo,
DeleteNo hatred here. They want to be friends with every little bird... and lick them and give love bites. Trust me.
Okay, now I know what they were hunting in the other post! Bird TV!!
ReplyDeleteKnatolee,
DeleteMoose was sitting in the dark this morning staring up at the awning when I went out to photograph a spectacular sunrise. I looked up and saw a crag Martin roosting in the awning. OUTSIDE the glass curtain, thank the goddess!
