The magpie was absolutely furious yesterday morning. He was hopping up and down my overhead electric cable to the garage, squawking his head off.  So, I looked to see why he appeared to be attacking my garage roof.

Big long haired black cat was sitting at the end of the overhead electric cable on the corner of the garage roof. Mr Magpie was lunging repeatedly at big long haired black cat, who sat as still as stone, not moving and didn't even budge an inch, which infuriated Mr Magpie even further. Big long haired black cat just sat there stoically, even though his face was literally inches from Mr Magpie's onslaught. Big Black Cat didn't blink an eyelid and stared at Mr Magpie who was so agitated that he fell off the overhead electric cable.

Every bird alarm call possible is going on in my garden.

Big Black Cat is missing his left ear. I am now certain BBCat is a he. He is just a very very large cat with a heck of a thick fur coat.

I went out, he didn't move. But as soon as I got right by the garage, he slunk out of sight, but came back the second I came in...

He waited a short while and came down slowly and cautiously to feed on the cat diner. I decided to let him have one four course breakfast in peace....he ate everything. I went and did my breakfast, came back. Refilled cat dishes with two of wet food, and two of dry food. Got back in bed to eat breakfast. But BBCat was back. He ate a second four course breakfast.

BBCat is bigger than my little Hearing Dog Meg was. He is bigger than a small Jack Russell. He is a small Panther.
Here is a photo of him on my garage roof...in extras...

Last night he dropped by for supper, but I had cleared up the cat diner. He looked at the plate I had put out for the fox, and dived in...I hope BBCat apologises to Mr Fox..

Mr Magpie never came back yesterday. I think he was too embarrassed falling off that cable. But, more likely, I think Mr Magpie knew that the BBCat would have made short work of him...as a tasty snack between his four course meals...

The elderly Mr&Mrs Blackbird came back yesterday. The elderly MrsB absolutely trusts me, but not so her husband. He was sounding alarm call after alarm call from my bungalow roof as I approached her as she was sampling the wet cat food which she seemed to think was delicious. It probably had some nutrients she needed. When elderly MrsB finally flew on to my bungalow roof, her husband scolded and scolded her for not listening to his alarm calls.

Shadow was waiting on the swing this morning, so I immediately went out and fed her, and sat with her until she had eaten her fill. At least I know she is fully fed. Then it was all the birds apart from Mr Magpie. The birds seem to really like the cat pate. I need to get some more...


Creative kaleidoscope in Laboscope  today is my Russian Comfrey again. The buds of the purple flowers, but I liked the leaf pattern on this one.

Time for another coffee...


Oh dear, the bottomless pit has arrived, he is half hour late, BBCat usually arrives on the dot of 6:30...
