Cats & Mynahs. In my Home.
I read Chandni's post about her Chidiyaghar. We too have pigeons outside my bathroom window, sometimes a feather floats down in the bathroom and my cat stalks it like it was a real bird. One shivering, petrified paw reaching out to touch the dangerous feather, and he will swell twice his size if a leaf stirs and makes a murmur at that moment.This is the closest he has ever come to a real bird.
He spends hours staring at the mynah shadows outside my daughter's window. We have placed a bird-house on the AC so the cat has a gala time watching the birds shadows and, rarely, actual birds. The birds occasionally spot him and make a racket!

priyanka I have heard the reason for disappearing sparrows is our cellphones...no idea how true it is! We do see fewer sparrows today then some years back:(

Where do you stay that you have a "chilman(?)" in the house???
1conoclast Thanks and Welcome to my blog :) The chilman(or chik/bamboo blinds) are put in the window, behind the curtains, and next to the glass panes, for privacy and protection from strong sunlight, and I guess to create an ethnic look :)
Imp's Mom - Thanks! Isn't my cat such an idiot!
Aww does he come rushing to you if a bird flies away? Our tom cat used to run crying to my dad
