Took Keesha and Jadey out for a walk. I saw a bunch ('murder' just doesn't sound right) of magpies. Actually the magpies saw us first and they started strolling, STROLLING at a leisurely pace to cross the road while making a racket. The local cat, to whom the street belongs to, heard the magpies and made an appearance.
Keesha saw the cat first.
The magpies made sure the local cat knew that Keesha and Jadey dared trespass on to its street. Only then did they make an exit.
I mean, if looks could kill...
Jadey was still half asleep and didn't notice the other cat for a while.
Keesha didn't really care. If she was younger, Keesha would have chased the other cat for sure.
Then Jadey saw the other cat and there was a tense stand off.
The other cat looked like it wanted to run across the road and start a fight with Jadey.
You know what the magpies were doing the whole time? They called their friends and then perched on the power lines above watching the stand off and yelling "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT". They're like rabid soccer fans trying to incite a riot.
Anyway nothing happened, a car drove past and spooked both cats and they both slunk away when the other wasn't looking. Dignity and pride retained.
Those magpies knew what they were doing. Here's a crop of the above photo, they were really hoping for an entertaining event.
