Beauty was making a noise, apparently jumping upon cardboard boxes in
the garage. I opened the door connecting the kitchen to the garage, and
saw my fatty catty chasing a little bird that had apparently
wandered/gotten under a slightly open garage door.

I opened the entire garage door, but it was too late. The small dead
bird was eventually left on the garage floor matt at the kitchen door.

In years past, there have been dead moles, once a small rabbit, and
today a little bird.

Beauty is so over-weight that I didn't think she could still cut the
mustard.

She's a very long haired Siberian stray cat that has been with us at
least 5 years or more.

She is surely as smart as any cat is, while I think smarter and
prettier of course.

I hate to see what she did, but she's a cat and they're hunters no
matter how over-fed and over-weight & overly-pampered.

I hereaby apologize to any birder who may read this, but I don't have
the guts to post it to their website.
