I set up my camera today to try to take some pictures of birds at the bird feeder. Of course I didn’t see any even after waiting around for 10 or 15 minutes. I left the camera there and did some other stuff until I noticed the cat sitting on here window perch looking at the bird feeders with her tail swishing… good cat.

I do feel kind of conflicted about that… while I enjoy watching birds, I also enjoy having a cat that is a mighty hunter.
