Fun with two cats, a bird song website and a laptop computer
Just Google bird songs for a wide selection of pages.

At any rate, one of my cats has already tried to crawl under the laptop a few times, knock it off the sofa, disassemble it with her paws and finally resorted to biting my knee as a coping mechanism to get at the invisible birds.

She is now watching my fingers as I type in case I magically produce a finch.

I love cats.

1. Well, that was entertaining.
I got my Gang of Fur all lathered up with a hermit thrush.

:rofl:

2. Cats and birds are always fun to watch. My cat watches
them through the window and makes really odd noises. About twenty five years ago, my boyfriend/now husband and I had a lovebird. We decided to get a cat and went to the shelter and came home with a huge grey longhaired cat. Not wanting the cat to hurt the bird, we'd put the birdcage in the bathroom at night and when we were home we'd use a squirt gun on poor Smokey whenever he got near the bird's cage. One day I decided to just let him investigate that bird since I was right there and as soon as he put a paw up to it, the bird bit him. He backed off and a few minutes later decided to investigate again and the bird pulled out one of his whiskers. So, I learned that I'd been wrong. I should have been protecting the cat from the bird instead of the other way around!

3. My cat listens to real birds yelling at him all day as he hangs around the yard
He knows there are no bird in my computer and ignores bird noises coming out of it.
