Just Plain Bill
Cat vs. bird, or bird vs. cat

Received a one-day delivery from Amazon Prime and was chatting with Paul, the driver, about my purchase. I’d ordered a plastic owl and some netting to protect Luke, my cat, from being pestered by one particular blue jay that is intent on hanging around our small patio as Luke lounges during the day.

Paul inquired, as many might, “Isn’t it the cat that’s supposed to be the predator, and not the other way around?” Is this “turn of events” a sign that the natural course of events in the animal kingdom (or even humankind) is in fact evolving?


We shall see if I’m successful intervening in evolution on Luke’s behalf, as even cats have a right to a hassle-free environment.
