News from Furby


Hi "Keets,
My two-leggers checked out your theory that the birds can see me through the window, and because of that, don't come to my feeder. They went out and stood next to the feeder, but couldn't see me through the window. So, it's not a problem unless feeder birds see differently than humans. They attached a tray to the top of the pole, broke up the seed block, and put the seed on the tray. Next day, a cardinal came to the feeder! But, I wasn't there to see it--I was getting in some bird-watching through another window. There are lots of birds there, perched in the tall aquavitae outside. Blue jays and all sorts of little wrens... The jays scream and argue. Very entertaining! I have added blue jays and the cardinal to my life list.

I've been held captive a lot lately. The cold weather makes the two-leggers want to hold warm, fuzzy things. My goodness, sometimes I can barely get to my litterbox on time! The two youngest make "caves" for me under tables and chairs. But, just as I settle myself for a nice fantasy about crouching and pouncing, one of them reaches in and drags me out.

Sigh....
