My cats are finally used to being inside only cats and only try to get out on a regular basis now. They love the view from my bedroom window as that is the one with the bird feeders in it. They each have their own style of bird watching and their own way of expressing their interest in the event.

QC: "Ok, so there's a bird. Hey, Sh*&, he's a big one. Mom, look at the big one. Mom. Mom. Look. Big bird. Oh that's a squirrel. I knew that."

Tanda: "Mom! Bird! Bird, Mom! Bird. Mom, bird. Common Mom, there's a bird out there. MOOOOOMMMM! THERE'S A bird OUT THERE!!! Mom. MOM! Bird. Big bird, Mom......"

Berfert: "Whatcha looking at Mom? Oh MY GOD! Who put that out there? Get rid of it Mom. I'll hide under the bed and you can get rid of it."
