Cat-O-Lympics.
Today is the last event that we are competing in. We would have liked to take part in the bare paw fighting too, but if we are honest, it's very rare for us to fight. We have a bit of a rassle now and again, but we prefer snuggling to fighting.
This is the Bird and Squirrel Watching discipline hosted by the Furry Bambinos.
Eric: I am taking part in the squirrel watching. The squirrel has just arrived on the hedge to eat the seeds the birds have dropped from the feeders. I am on the cat tree and keep my head and body low. You can see him beside my right ear.
I slowly lift my head for a better view. He hasn't seen me.
Success! A second one arrives.
He still doesn't see me watching and sits eating the seeds. He is lucky Flynn is asleep because he isn't a watcher like me. He would be out of the door and chase him up the tree.Flynn: I am taking part in the bird watching. This is a pheasant which is a very big bird, almost as big as me. As he is on our property, rather than watch him, I am escorting him off the premises.
You can also see the video here on You Tube.

Oh Eric you really excelled at that part of the competition. Please remind us if you medaled!
ReplyDeleteThat is always one of our favorite events!
ReplyDeleteEric, you really were a champion squirrel watcher!
ReplyDeleteEric, what a WATCHER! That was as expert as I could ever hope to see. Flynn, my romantic Ginger fluff boy...you escorted him in a grand manner as befitted the pheasant's dignity!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Good thing you were inside. Did you ever catch a squirrel? They are very fast and Odin has only caught one or two in five years.
ReplyDeleteLove how you escorted that pheasant! We used to have those here, but now the area is more built up so they have gone elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteThis one made me smile with the memories!
ReplyDeleteOh, beautiful, patient Eric!! I know I said it before, but I love your flashback posts. <3
ReplyDeleteOh how we used to love those Cat Olympics! You and Flynn were so good in your divisions!
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Bird and Squirrel Watching? What cool Olympic events! I bet you boys really enjoyed perfecting your skills.
ReplyDeleteBoth those events are extremely skilful. You boys were champions!
ReplyDeleteYou boys were both EXCELLENT property managers! Squirrels and birds didn't stand a chance at invasion with both of you patrolling!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Oh Eric, good job watching those squirrels. That is a hard job containing yourself from chasing them. Good to see you Eric as always.
ReplyDeleteYou sure were a purrfect squirrel watcher, Angel Eric. And, Flynn, I didn't know you were a bird herder! Gold medals for both of you!

Thank you for showing Feline's badge on your bloggie, Flynn. That is so sweet. We don't know who made the badge. We thought Ellen of 15andmeowing did, but she didn't. Please let us know if you know. Extra Pawkisses for the weekend :) <3
We were disappointed that the pheasant photo didn't show up for us. Hope you both won gold medals. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
