What? You’re not surprised? Huh.
I’ll bet y’all had already set up a pool and were taking bets about how long it would be before I caved.
The winner? Whoever bet on “Not very fucking long.”
I just figured, well, I’d put him in here and leave him during the night. He’ll probably be dead by morning, but if he’s not, then maybe he’ll be stronger, and I can open the door and maybe his parents will come feed him (since I doubt he can eat that cat food I put in the corner, never mind that the rest of his huge family LOVES it). Or maybe he’ll dream about how to fly away. . . .

So how many cats are left in the inventory? And what happens when YOUR cats discover this morsel of dessert?
Oh yeah, that's the Rice we know and love (grin).
(hey)Jude
"inventory"?
we have no loose cats. they're all totally confined.
I've been there too. I know nothing about grackles (not even what they look like) but I know that you can keep baby ducks and baby canada geese alive by feeding them on hard boiled eggs. Mash the eggs up, add a bit of water to make it runny and feed it on a teaspoon or shallow dish.
Why you would want to, I don't know; but if it can't be returned to its nest, and you can't kill it yourself, then you've just become a mother to a Grackle. Congratulations.
when i went out this morning, the grackle-ette was gone. i told my husband that the cat must have pulled it out through the bars, and he said maybe it got strong enough during the night and escaped. i love that guy.
and the flies?
apparently the flies took the day off today.
Yeah, we were all pretty much thinking it wouldn't take long.
