Where IS that bird I hear?

[Fox Mike]

I was sitting here this morning doing my morning neubulizer treatment and was watching the local Osprey site: http://chesapeakeconservancy.org/explore/wildlife-webcams/osprey/ The Osprey is very 'vocal' at times and when the sound is turned up it will carry throughout the house. All of the sudden I have Slick, my cat, who was sound asleep on the bed a few minutes earlier, standing in front of the screen looking all around as the bird is 'screeching'. He looked at one speaker then went to the other side and looked at the other speaker. Now it is 'screw with Slick' time. I start turning the sound off and then back on. The poor cat WANTS that noisy bird but just cannot figure out exactly where it is hiding. Finally the bird shuts up and Slick gives up looking and goes back to bed. Made my morning.

Messing with the cat again huh? One of ours has a severe focus issue. She will lock onto something,, and ignore other stuff around her. A sudden movement will send her straight up! Sometimes 3 ft or more. I call it her "Guilty complex issue."

Cats ARE a never ending source of entertainment and wonder. Slick is an indoor/outdoor cat. He came in the other day, made two passes through the house at breakneck speed, stopped, jumped up on my lap and promptly went to sleep. I always wonder what is going to happen next.

I like the FAT one that leans back in the corner of the easy chair and loves to get petted.

I'm thinking I'm going to re-name our cat "Honey Badger" because she just don't care. The only cat I've ever seen that doesn't give a care about a laser dot or a string or ribbon pulled along the floor or any type of bird call (such as yours does) or anything like that. She's more like a dog, running to greet us in the driveway and begging for food when we eat. You think she'd be 30 pounds they way she eats but weighs in at about 4 pounds.

We amuse ourselves by turning a flashlight on the ceiling, moving it around, then watching the cat growl at the circle of light.
