cat table

my neighbours have a bird table and regularly provide food. There have
been loads and loads of birds visiting it and we've had a squirrel as
well. The squirrel tends to monopolise the thing and then dashes about
burying nuts all over the place. However it also enjoys duffing up the
myriad of cats who keep watch over the bird table and occasionally
attempt to leap at it to catch a snack. So far they have failed and I
certainly haven't seen one reach the table itself. The birds tend to
chirp themselves silly from nearby branches while watching the cats
spectacularly fail. Obviously Reading based cats are more devious.

 

Last week I bought a bird table. Today, Owen hung out bird seed and
went off to get some peanuts. As soon as he had gone, the cheeky black
cat from a few doors down leapt up onto the wall and down into the
garden. He strolled around the bird table and then - hup - he was
standing on the little green roof. He stood in every position he could
think of but couldn't reach the dangling seed holder (not that he
would have liked them anyway but, hey, it's a cat). He leaned right
over one edge and the whole thing tipped precariously. He hastily
moved back, looking around to see if anyone had noticed his near
catastrophe. Satisfied, he lay down on the roof and moved his paw
about on the floor of the house. Hmm, no birds. He uncoiled himself
and climbed carefully inside with his head sticking out one side and
his tail the other. And made himself at home. What self-respecting
bird is now going to use my birdhouse - the entire thing now smells of
bloody cat! Bastard.

Nah, run a wire up into the bird house and attach it to a car battery. When
the cat goes in flick the switch. The tinlgling nut sensation over the next
few hours will remind him not to go back.

How would you know if it's dead or not?

 

Take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
