Kitties and Their Hobbies
Just before Christmas, 3 days to be exact, we had 2 new windows installed in our little house in the woods. We moved from the city where we had a sidewalk out to the country, where we live on a dirt road, 6.5 years ago. We fell in love with the property and then noticed that the house was a 1968 rambler with those ridiculous windows that I had to stand on tip toes to see out of:
There’s a pond right outside the window. Don’t get me started on the hideous wallpaper. When I am in bed I can’t see it, and it’s coming down because we’ve got this brand new window that the kitties think is their very own Christmas present complete with a bird feeder that attaches to the window with giant suction cups:
Here’s what it looks like in the window almost all the time now:
They wait for pretty nuthatches:
And Hairy Woodpeckers:
And they scare the crap out of these poor birds.
This chickadee is staring right at them!
Quick get away!
It’s all good fun for them. I just hope it’s not bad for the birds.
Anja is going to pee her pants over these…as I did! So…freaking…cute! I love getting a glimpse of your beautiful family and home. What an inspiration you are in so many ways.
Love ya, Verna!

PS- you should show these to Wild Birds Unlimited- what a great ad compaign that would be! I’ll tell you this- I’m going to go get a bird feeder just because of these pictures!
Vera, LOVE this. Very well done. I am going to do it for my cat, “Miss Bitty”. Thanks for sharing.
It’s money very well spent!! You can SEE YOUR POND FROM YOUR BEDROOM NOW!!! Hurray!!
