Awesome shot of that big kitty. Is that a pool I see in the background?
Kimberly Palmer replied
Thanks Mary….. we call it a spool. Too small to be a pool, and to big to be called a spa. = ) It is a real big hot tub however, with jets, waterfall, etc. We can warm it up, or keep it cool.

Great shot – good timing! I don’t like cats in my yard either – I found a little dead bird on my lawn the other evening – I know exactly which cat got it too. But hey – at least you got a great shot out of it!
Kimberly Palmer replied
Thank you, Jan!
Yup, this guy here has ran off with 1 in his mouth that I witnessed, (i nearly chased him to his owners house) and we have a few bird bodies on the side of our yard. I love cats, but darn it…..

The owners did to put a big bell around his neck…what a mammoth cat, great capture ~ Anni :)
Kimberly Palmer replied
Thank you, Anni – I wish they would do just that!

Oh my goodness! When I viewed the thumbnail, I thought this was a coyote or a mountain lion! I had to laugh when I realized it was “just a cat,” but what a cat! I can see why you shoo him off; he looks like he could put a big dent in your bird population! Great photo and what good heartedness on your part to let the “enemy” drink!
Kimberly Palmer replied
thanks, Bonnie!
I’m saddened to report that this guy here has captured 1 bird that I witnessed him run off with, and I have saved a couple that he had in his mouth… unfortunately, we have some bird bodies in our side yard, and this really bothers me. I found them after I took this shot (not on the same day)... who knows if it is him, but he lives across the street, so it’s easy access. :(
He is a big kitty, but it’s all fur. Next time, I think I’ll just have to scare him off…. which I usually do.
