Taking liberties

I forgot to mention this this morning. I fell about laughing. The cat food is
placed in bowls in the utility room, and the outside door of the utility is
kept open during the day as the cats have free access to the outside, and are
free-fed, as that way it stops a certain one-eyed black-furred ladycat from
stuffing herself full in one go and promptly throwing up.

Anyhow, this morning I wandered into the kitchen and could not believe what I
was seeing in the utility room, via the glass door to it. There, perched on the
side of Waffles's food dish, stuffing its face with Royal Canin dry catfood
was... a robin! It then hopped over to Waffles's water dish and took a drink!

Why do I not have a digital camera with me at all times!!!

Methinks this robin is taking liberties when it is actually coming into the
house to pinch food from the cat bowls ;-)

Bold bird [or maybe not too smart :-)]. Avery's been known to poke
around in Felix's kibble dish [the pieces are too big for his beak,
though], and on one memorable occasion used Felix's water dish as a
birdbath.

That must be the epitome of cheekiness!

The robin is certainly not showing your cats a great deal of respect. The
only robins I ever found in my house, came in kit form distributed over the
living room floor.

Perhaps the cats didn't mind today, considering there's been a particularly
high wind, so finding food has been difficult for the birds. At least in the
utility room, the robin could eat without being knocked about by the wind!

This morning the robin was back....

Vernon spotted it this time. Seems we have a feathered member of the family now
;-)
