Message from wife. "Your bloody kitten! He climbed up onto the sputnik and went through the bars into the loft!.
"Luckily I saw him and when I got there he was looking unsure about what to do next!"
The Banjo baby is a bit of a rascal, but the pigeons don't see him as much of a threat. When I called them in tonight, they were all in pronto.
It does show that while the loft is shut up at night, I have to keep the sputnik closed during the day. This time is was only the Banjo, but if another cat got in, well....
Then there was was the question, why did he all of a sudden become "Your bloody kitten", when he was a rascal?
Years ago I had a cat who from a kitten was trained not to touch the birds, the pigeons would quite happily peck around the lawn while the cat walked amongst them. The trouble was they trusted her too much and when a new Tom cat was introduced to the area he not only terrorised my cat but he also killed several of my birds before they started to see other cats as a threat. I would certainly consider getting another cat myself if any cats around here became a problem, thankfully there aren't too many around.
