Walked by Ye Olde Neighbourhood Cat Colony the other day and witnessed some natural selection at work. It’s not pretty, but that’s what happens when you’re a bird and you don’t fly away fast enough. What do you think the guy in the foreground is thinking?

We were nowhere near this grey tabby and still, when he saw us he decided that sticking around was too much of a risk. So he bolted. Fine. Leave! See if we care!
