Bad, eeevil cat

Noodles, our neighbor's cat, (that's right, NOT ours!) climbed quite a tall tree this evening and I was curious as to why. Well after thinking he was stuck, he started to make his way down. I took photos. That mouth of his is not empty. I think he'd found the nest of some local honeyeaters. And I think that is one of the chicks in his mouth. What a shame. He is a lovely cat, but this reminds you of some of the realities of pet ownership (especially cats). I love cats, but you need to keep them in between twilight and dawn else this happens (in case you're wondering, we try to do that with our cat, with success most of the time, but we are comforted by the fact that ours is a little fat and would struggle to get halfway up such a tree, let alone find the nest. He did catch a cicada yesterday though!).
