A lucky escape




Chi Mimi spent ten minutes stalking a fat, complacent wood pigeon that was stuffing its beak beneath the bird feeders. She grabbed it but after a furious struggle, it escaped, leaving dozens of feathers behind. She must have wounded it as she had blood on her mouth, but we hope it will be OK. She is on a special diet following stomach surgery, and is only supposed to eat dry biscuits - but she doesn't know that, of course. She did look funny with one fluffy feather stuck to her face.

Lucky pidgeon! Hope cat is okay, too.

The cat is fine. She's very intelligent and very bored now that there's nobody next door for her to interact with. We just had a hailstorm and she came rocketing through the cat flap at a rate of knots!
