Stupid Crow Update

Did you know that crows all have unique vocal squawks? This way you can tell one from the other. Ask me how I know this. Because the same crow that makes noises in my yard was joined by an equally noisy buddy who sounded entirely different. The two of them (with their mute partner who says nothing so I have no problem with) buzzed the yard all day. Since it's been extra cold and rainy here the past several days they were making up for lost time being assholes, I guess.

So Admiral Fluffy asked to get let out today. Usually he goes out for a bit then comes in and sleeps the day away. However, today was different. Today he only came in to eat and get some water and then was back outside. He sat in his chair and just watched them damn crows making trouble.

I have seen him like this before. During the lone mouse invasion of 2007. He waited and waited for that mouse to make one wrong move and SNAP - it was Admiral ONE, dead mouse ZERO. He had that same intense look in his eyes when he was studying those stupid crows.

I watched him plotting their flight patterns and favorite landing perches - doing the math and calculating vectors IN HIS HEAD mind you. I almost felt bad for those crows - ALMOST. They have no idea how the circle is tightening around them. My best cat is a patient hunter and will only need to use a minimal amount of effort when his moment comes. Watching him work is magic truly is a thing of beauty.

So, I should be reporting to you in the near future how I came outside one day to find three and maybe four yappy crows lined up neatly for my post mortem inspection. Stay tuned.
