Hummingbird Sunday
Have you ever held a hummingbird?
I did! 
In November of 2007
What an experience!
Thank you again, Bene,
for letting me join in the
wonderful event!
DID YOU KNOW?
The hummingbird needs to eat TWICE
its body weight everyday.

Yes, he's wrapped in the toe of a nylon.
The sun was shining,
the birds were flying,
the air was crisp,
The cocoa and coffee warm,
Anticipation to catch and
band hummingbirds!
What a day!!!!

Cat Diary
Day 983 of my captivity.
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.
In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.
Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Buggers!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.
I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.
However, I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of allergies". 
I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.
I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...
