Just watched a cat make an unsuccessful attempt to “hunt” my neighbours chickens.This white cat shows up, saw the chickens minding their own business and promptly decided that a chicken dinner was ideal - There are a number of chicks around
. So he began to stalk his prey stealthily moving through the shrubs and flowers as he made his way towards the chicken coop.The hens and their families continued pecking away and didn’t seem too concerned. When he was just 2 metres away, the creature launched his attack summoning all his energy and bolting like a steak of white lightning across the lawn!
You know, it really pays to check out the lay of the land before engaging in any high octane activity such as hunting somebodys chickens. The poor cat had neglected this one important tenet of hunting life. So naturally he failed to notice the rather thin chicken wire fencing that separated the hens from the rest of the garden and smashed straight into this (up to now) invisible contraption. The poor animal lay there for a few seconds trying to work out what had gone wrong, and then got up, picked up what was left of his shattered pride and looked towards the kitchen window in time to see my neighbour and I disappear from view as we crumbled to the floor, unable to breathe with laughter.
What a funny end to my Monday! Better than Netflix!
