Or, erm, black.
*sigh*
So I hadn't taken Grimalkin out for a walk in a long time (he usually just lays there like the leash weighs 20 lbs) and he seemed fairly interested, so I let him out, got the leash on him and sat down on a rock.
He wandered the yard a bit, mostly chewed grass and did nothing. He seemed kinda interested in this bush, but I didn't really think much about it until he stretched up into it and I heard the chirps of baby birds... ;____;
It was chaos. He already had one in his mouth and the others took off in all directions, bouncing along the ground. I didn't even know what to do, he took off after a Second one, grabbing both in his mouth (*oink oink*) and when I tried to stop him, he backed away and out of his leash...
I did my best to herd him back towards the house, I didn't want him to get upset and take off (it was 4am here and he's a black cat) so I stopped trying to make him drop the bird he already had. I tried to go back while he was preoccupied and save one of them, but the dumb thing made too much noise and as soon as I went to the back of the bush to look for him, he was already at the front of the bush and killed it too..
So then I was stuck behind rose bushes with my flashlight on him just waiting for him to finish crunching up the baby bird.. :[ When he tried to go back for another one though, I said 'enough is enough' and scooped him up, waded through the roses and plopped him inside the house.
I got a secondary flashlight and searched and searched but I couldn't find any other baby birds. I felt bad for the mommy and daddy bird who would come back to an empty nest. (Though I wondered why they weren't there in the first place..)
On the way back, I thought I saw daddy bird, but it turns out it was a baby! It was bigger than all the others, so it had the strength to hop farther away!
I scooped it up, took it back to the nest and set it in. A good day's work, right? But then the darn thing jumped out! I had one heck of a time trying to get the birdie to STAY in its nest! And to make matters worse, daddy bird came around and was swooping and chirping angrily over my head. When I finally got the bird to stay, I ran back into the house for my own safety! xD
*Edit* For some reason, I can't get Imageshack to cooperate with TCS, so I put my photos as attachments.*
I took a couple pictures of the baby bird since I had it in my hands anyways, so here they are:
And the Great "White" Killer looking innocent.. (or guilty maybe)
He's taken turns eating and standing by the door while I've been typing this... He's such a pig.. -___-
