Probably Nothing More Than Rumours

Crazy rumours are spreading that the squirrels have been boldly stealing right from the bird feeder.
I’d like to correct that terrible misconception.

    The squirrels have been boldly stolen right from the bird feeder.

      “…to boldly go where no squirrel has gone before!”

      (Sorry, it just jumped into my head….)

    He looks kind of bored by the whole thing!

    Despite the kitty’s hopes, “Bird feeder” does not indicate that the birds are for hm.

    • Juno says:

      My wimpy Claude used to try sitting under my little bird feeder. I guess you have to give him points for optimism. (“Maybe they won’t notice me.”) Needless to say, he never caught a bird in his 21+ years.

      • Mina says:

        My Cinder’s window perch is right next to the bird feeder. Apparently she feels the birds will be more apt to fly inside if she flattens her tummy against the window like a Garfield window cling. Again, points for optimism.

      • Emily Rose says:

        Haha! My Aggie does the same thing; he lays on the banister under the bird feeder flicking his tail back and forth while the chickadees and titmice scold him. Still, his hope springs eternal.

  13. cellarmouse says:

    i wonder how he gets in…large sweaty heaving and grunting or lithe agile ballet moves…some of us fatboys can be amazingly graceful…

  14. victoreia says:

    Go ahead, make my day.

  17. Fat Boy has just made an announcement of utmost importence:
    He is not fat, just FLOOFY!!! :shock:
    Also, he is to be entirely commended for choosing the cooler penthouse apartment instead of the steamy summer basement flat;
    F.B. sez: those not-too-bright skwerlios shuud just go and figure it out……. :roll:

  22. Erica Moon says:

    How cheerfully he seems to grin,
    How neatly spread his claws,
    And welcome little fishes in – er – birdies
    With gently smiling jaws!

  26. ^oo^ says:

    I look at FatBoy facebook link and I do not see the aqua eyes… this is not the Precious I seek.

  27. Henna says:

    I wonder what kind of plea this cat will use in the court of..law when it comes to being charged with theft and well, the other thing.

  28. Dana says:

    His name is Fatboy? Clearly he HAS to hide in the birdfeeder so he can sooth his hurt feelings.

  29. Fird Birfle says:

    heh heh

    I jist noticed the “I’m Going to Eat You” Tag !!!!

  30. Emmberrann says:

    Hmmm. Am I alone in wishing for an “Impending Doom” tag? Just one look [at those eyes] (wait for the earworm), that’s all it took, just one look, …. *hums as she shuffles off stage right*

  31. Emmberrann says:

    Apropos of non sequitur: Doesn’t Harley Davidson make a model of motorcycle called the “Fatboy”?

  32. Kristy says:

    Rumor is that Pyrit might be British or Canadian?

    There is a picture of him on FB with a squirrel right in front of him! And yet he maintains the loaf position.
