One is called sphinx kitteh and he lies camoflaged in the flower beds, in the traditional sphinx pose, just waiting for an unsuspecting dove to wander over. This morning we saw statue kitteh for the first time. He was sitting upright directly below the feeder with his head tilted back at an appropriate angle, just waiting for an unsuspecting sparrow to swoop a little lower than the rest. Bev hates the kittehs but I keep on telling her that they are only doing what comes naturally. So far we have found evidence of two slaughtered doves. Oh well that is the order of the food chain I suppose. Every joy in life has a price attached.

I also raised a dove by hand after a neighbour cut his tree down with a nest in it. Taught it to fly and it used to go out during the day and return at night, then one day it never came back. Perhaps an evil cat or an innocent falcon... Lol. I like to think it found a mate. We don’t have pidgeons here but in a previous house we had the same experience with them coming into the kitchen.
