In this season full of life, my feline bunch is very active outdoors ...
... enjoying the warm weather and minding its cat's business ... that involves a lot of hunting.
They bring home grasshoppers, large moths and butterflies, snakes, lizards, mice, rats, earthworms ... and on this occasion ...
... the victim was a relatively rare bird in this area - The Hawfinch (Coccothraustes coccothraustes)
I'm not a fan of these killings ... but you have to get used to that when surrounded by cats ... and I have to give them credits for their patience and skill.
This happened a week ago, on Saturday ...
I was on my way to the bathroom, still partially sleeping on my feet ... when I noticed some feathers ...
... and then encountered the young black cat called Mrwitza ...
... she was playing with the dead bird near the bathroom door ... as usual in these situations, understanding that this is a great moment for may cat friend, I just said - Bravo Mrwitza ... yes, you are a great hunter ... and a few more similar phrases ... part of the elementary good manners when talking to a cat proud of her catch.
Then she brought the bird outside ... I picked up the feathers and cleaned that little mess ...
Some other cats came to see what's going on ...
... and now ...
... with this closing shot ... on which the funny little Mrwitza looks pretty mean, with the street cat look in her eye ... is time to end this Caturday vignette ... as always here on HIVE, the photographs are made by me ... THE END.
