Hi there Jerry, long time no see here in Hive, thanks for visiting and love what you have done around your place.
Not sure about those lovely cats you have and how fast they are if the birds land close!
I'm not motivated to create a lot of posts these days @joanstewart, I see YOU more often on my "feed in the weeds"
I'm not able to get my mind on practicing music these days because of the house, yard, cats etc... but I'm still puttering along.
Both of them DO catch birds and bring them in to me, along with voles
No cats in our gardens, unless a feral cat moving through, moles similar to voles (carnivores vs plant eating), dogs entertainment to try dig to the center of the earth.
It's mentally excellent for you to have the garden and cats, now I see enjoyed a night out entertaining once again, so long as you happy that is what counts toward better health.
Take care and yes I do notice you connecting in other spaces.
I would be hard pressed to try and control the flow of WILDLIFE from the woods in back and the yards of all those living near me.
My three nearest cat person neighbors, have gone to quite a lot of trouble, capturing feral cats, having them spayed/neutered then releasing them.
Doesn't stop them from feeding on the birds etc, but at least they aren't proliferating here atm
Most feral cats treated here as well, could become a problem for the little wildlife still around. Birds always a target with cats around.
