The cat waiting for the birds to arrive and the subsequent drama has now become a routine affair. The birds seem to have perfected the art of picking up their feed which is spread out for them early morning in several pots while the cat keeps an eye. After a state of high alert for some time, the cat goes away and then the birds have a free run. They are of course alert all the time and look around for any sign of danger before each morsel is picked up. (at home, Pune, 2016)
