Hummingcat

She is so patient.

This is a cat who can break in windows and even doors if she wants in the house and no one lets her in. She’s one of the smartest cats I’ve ever seen. If Spice used her powers for good, she could probably cure cancer.

She sits beneath this tree for hours. Other times she perches here, in a cleft in the trunk.

Still.

Absolutely still.

And patient, despite the fact that it is mostly a frustrating waste of her time and her rocket scientist-level mind.


Unfortunately, sometimes she accomplishes her goal and nabs a bird. That she can nab hummingbirds in mid-flight is a miracle. Bigger miracle–we saved this one.

Spice had this hummingbird in her mouth briefly and we got it away from her before she bit into it. Hopefully, it was okay. We let it go and it flew away.

Spice? She went right back to the tree.

She’s Been Busy

Busy killing birds!!!! And she doesn’t look like she feels a bit guilty.

She belongs on this Weird Wednesday site with all the other Cats With Serious Attitudes.

You’ve never seen a more dedicated cat. She spends HOURS, literally HOURS, sitting at the base of the tree where I hang my birdfeeders.

Waiting.

Months go by.

There’s Spice. Sitting at the base of the tree. Like a statue.

When she’s not doing that, she’s chasing butterflies.

And catching them.

And bringing them in the house to show me.

Then tormenting them while she tears the wings off one by one until she’s all tired of them and lets the other cats have a turn.

Doesn’t she know I LIKE birds and butterflies?

And WHY does she have to bring them in the HOUSE???

:cry:
