A Little Bird



One morning, Goro and I were
hanging out on the deck.


After a while, Goro started gazing at something.


Ah, there is a little bird on the rooftop.





Haha, bird is too far away, Goro :-)


Hm... There are birds on the feeder right here
and yet, Goro is totally ignoring them. 

A bit strange.


Then Niko joined the watch.


What is so special about that bird?


Wait, that is not a little bird...


That's vulture!


That's why.

We don't usually see vulture,
at least not on regular bird TV.



Probably, but let's not!

Special thanks to Target, Guido & Ellen from
Katz And Other Tales for posting our enclosure
on their Facebook page, and Merlin, Domino,
Gris Gris, Odin & Layla from Cat Wisdom 101
for featuring it on their Catios article!

  1. WOW! I wonder what those vultures were doing in your neighborhood! No wonder you kitties were so fascinated.

  4. Dearest Tamago,
    Aren't you glad you got this catio? One never knows...
    Loved the two mentions of your lovely catio from Canada. Indeed, good things do come from Canada.
    Hugs to you,
    Mariette

    I think your mom is really sweet, place a bird feeder for you.

    But I understand unusual stuff we watch first!!

  16. No No do not mess with a vulture. They are way too big. Love the big eyes. But do leave that one alone. Glad you are on your catio. Have a great evening.

  19. Oh my goodness boys! Don't mess with the vulture! Whoa, we can't believe it showed up, no wonder you weren't interested in the other "little birds" at the feeder! Have a wonderful week boys and thanks so much for celebrating my Birthday with me!

  20. OMC! What, have you goned CRAZY boys??? A VULTURE ::shudder:: No no no no no no! Refocus on those nice little snacks, I mean birdies, right outside your enclosure. Maybe one will squeeze through the mesh to say hello, heh heh.

  21. Dearest Tamago-san,
    Wow, a vulture up on your house!!! Well, it sure is an exciting guest or should I say 'no no' guest p;) So funny you showed us your babies had no interests for the regular guests(*^_^*)
    Congratulations on your catio being featured(^_-)

    猫ちゃん専用の囲いの事をcatioって言うんですね。初めて知りました。2人共暑さは大丈夫そうですね♪ 此方では、毎日記録的高温で熱中症の危険と犠牲者のニュースが報じられてます。 Tamagoさんも夏ばてに気を付けて下さいね。

    Sending you lots of love and hugs to my dear Japanese friend in America, xoxo Miyako*

  24. Goro and Niko, that vulture is very big! We are glad you have a catio, so that you can watch him from where it is safe!

    ReplyDelete
  25. He is a bit large so I would be happy to stay in the catio if I was there. Just meowin...

  29. Oh my stars! That is one big scary bird! I am so glad the kitties are safe behind the enclosure. I think they better stick to the little birds at the feeder. LOL!

  31. Hi Boys, So has that vulture gone away now? I sure hope so! The Human and her friend saw a big old hawk out on their walk the other day but he scared it away before the Human could get a picture. She was pretty mad.

  32. Those vultures are much bigger than the birdies we get in our garden.

  33. Whoa! You got the Premium Bird tv channel with the big birds. TW's nickname used to be Vulture. Should I be scared?

    ReplyDelete
  34. wow amazing vulture, I haven't seen one either, they are such spectacular birds.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow that is one big bird. You two had better not mess with that one. You just might be sorry. Hope all of you have a good evening.

    ReplyDelete
  36. You must subscribe to premium channels of BIRD TV to get shows with vultures. We think the reason the vulture usually stays away is that he knows Goro could take him.

  37. Hi Boys! Whatcha up to these days, huh? Still bird-watchin'?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Don't worry, those vulture things only like to eat dead stuff!
