The pair of Bluebirds are on their second brood and the male is still fighting his reflection in the window every morning. One of my cats, Butchy, is watching closely.

Had a cat that did watch tv...his fav show was wild kingdom...and he liked "Hinterland Who's Who" too. It had a redwing blackbird's call and it got Barney's attention every time...lol. Do Butchy's whiskers twitch? lol

Oh that's funny Lori ! Butchy's whiskers twitch when he's doing his funny little "bird chatter".........do you know what I mean by that? I don't know how to describe it ...........it's like a quick half-meow, maybe 5-8 times in a row. It's always when he's BEYOND excited when he sees a bird or chipmunk. Sometimes nothing comes out but "K K K K" his mouth still does the quick motions. Very funny.

Exactly! So it is normal cat behaviour...lol. almost like an anxiety attack, but a happy sort of thing.

Is Butchy a tabby, by any chance? He's in shadow in the picture...if he is it would be soo perfect...Barney was a brown tabby, I believe they are calling them Bengals..now.. but he made me believe in Tabby Genes..I've had three tabbies at different times and all of them were exceptional hunters but the sweetest pets ever. And all of them had bird fits...lol.

I don't know if you'd call him a tabby or not.......he's gray and has tiger stripes but the gray is taking over his body and you can mainly see the stripes now on his legs. He's one of 3 kittens that I kept from a feral cat I took in last spring. She just had another litter and this summer she's getting spayed for sure (if I can get her in the cat carrier that is) ! But this second litter is all tabbies (their feral father comes for food every night and is a tabby with white, just like 2 of the kittens !) I'll have to post a pic of them soon.
