Cat Bird




This is Lilliput (Lilly for short) drinking from the bird bath. She is the largest cat bird I've ever seen, though she is a diminutive cat. She follows me around while I work in the garden and loves to climb trees, jumping from branch to branch. Yesterday as I was getting out of the shower I saw her climb into a tree and then jump down onto an occupied bluebird box. Alarmed, I quickly threw on some clothes and went out hoping to avert a disaster. By the time I got there she had figured out that she couldn't get inside the box and the bluebird parents were dive bombing her. Off she ran looking for another kind of mischief.

I really do love her, but sometimes I hate her!
