Has anyone ever had a Stellar Jay - or two! - harass their cats? We just moved into a new cottage surrounded by trees and dense scrub. About 3 weeks after settling in, a pair of bold and dare I say extremely obnoxious Stellar Jays took to harassing our two cats, Django and Snoop Doggy Dogg whenever they leave the house. It started out with the Jays just screaming at them from a post or branch just above. Now, these Jays are actually chasing them around the yard and harassing them wherever they go.
Our cats are outdoor cats and can usually handle themselves pretty well with animals of most types. But they seem downright spooked and intimidated by these agressive birds.
My question is, has anyone ever heard of Jays attacking cats? And also, any bets on whether my cats will eventually get used to these obnoxious neighbors and finally put them in their "place"?
Thanks,
Tom
