Every now and then, I’ll see bird go sailing directly past the living room windows, followed immediately by one or both of the cats scrambling to the window, eyes wide with the anticipation of a potential meal.

Of course, there’s no possible way for the cats to actually get to the birds, and it makes me wonder if the birds realize the cruel game they’re playing. You can almost picture them high fiving each other as they speak of “pwnage” and “lolz” (terms commonly found on internet message boards).

Of course if the cats could find a way to break the barrier, the tables would definitely be turned …
