Title: Surprise at the sliding door
Post by: Luv2Bird on October 13, 2010, 09:39:24 PM

Our cat was sitting watching the action in the back yard when I noticed this little one (think it's a Hermit Thrush) right in front of her!!  She's an older cat and doesn't usually go after birds, but she did try taking some swipes at it ... but couldn't figure out how to stop the force field !  lol

Nice catch!
I'd say Hermit Thrush and Chocolate or Seal Point Siamese!

Great photo! Nice shot of the Thrush and the cat, makes you wonder if the Thrush "knew" it couldn't get caught? LOL
This just made me smile :) beautiful cat by the way.

Thanks everyone. Glad it made you smile.  It was one of those truly rare moments.  A must "share".
Yes .. it's a Seal Point Siamese -- named Rascal.    I don't think the Thrush could tell that the cat was there.  It seemed quite oblivious to it. At first I thought it was injured. It also looked smaller than others around this time or year .. so may have been a juvie.
