Orestes and the Little Bird
Posted: September 24, 2012 Filed under: Texture Tuesday | Tags: cat, hummingbird, Orestes, photography, texture, window 34 CommentsAbout halfway through the summer, we decided to put up a window hummingbird feeder. It’s around the corner of the house from the hanging feeder, tucked up next to the chimney, making those territorial fights a little less common. Orestes soon took notice of the ‘little bird’ as I called every hummer that came to drink the nectar. At first, he would sit quietly and watch, fascinated. The hummers soon became used to him and realized he was of no harm to them. They began to play a sort of teasing game with him, bobbing up and down as they hovered outside the window. So he began to play too, lying in wait for them and jumping to strike the window with his paws.

I JUST read a post from a lady whose cat actually got a sweet hummer in its mouth. Thank God it survived, but still. These are wonderful shots and I’m so glad to see the precious hummers protected by the glass!
I spy something nervous! Wonderful story told with your photos!
These are delightful! Great shots, Pat!
Fantastic photographs, unusual views. I am greeting
Fabulous pictures here, beautiful in black and white. I think I could sit for hours watching Orestes and his feathered friends playing with each other.
My 2 cats would love one of those bird feeders! 😀
Tommy (my tomcat) loves birds, in fact he even eats them… My neighbour knows well this, he said to me that Tommy ate a few pigeons. 😀
Genius in making this black and white, Pat. Makes us focus on the two main characters. Nice job!
Beautiful photos, Orestes is very entertaining with the bird. Greetings.
Great pictures with the hummer in the background. Nice that he doesn’t freak out at the cat.
gorgeous black and white photos!
That is so neat! I’m amazed how close he came!
Loved the photo essay and the end shot is priceless!
Adorable! I love the cat and the bird “communicating” through the window. Awesome photos!
That’s cute, I especially like the last shot where they are looking directly at each other.
I like the cardinal – but this sequence with your cat is great! It must have been torture for the poor old “puddy tat”!
