Ginger

Ginger is one of my enemies (there are 6). He thinks he can just wander onto my turf and hunt my birds, and is very badly behaved. Thankfully he is not allowed near any of the doors here. His camouflage and use of cover is rubbish lol!

I don't know which you are more scared of, Ginger or the crows!

I get various stray cats in my yard because of my bird feeders. No offense, but I always chase them away when I see them stalking my poor little birds.

Quite right too! That's why I don't mind this cat spending so much time in our house. It is not our beast, but it stops it hunting in the garden so much, which it was doing most of the time anyway before we started letting it in, and then feeding it. I think it gets beaten up at its home by another cat, so we are a place it can escape too. The ginger cat was not brave enough to go for the crows, and they were pretty wary, but it could not stop watching them.

Actually it seems that all of the local cats pick on this one!

When Freddie was alive it would stare through the window,and scared the living daylights out of him. In the garden though there would be this uneasy situation where the two would sit about 4 m apart looking at each other. I guess the cat, then a kitten, was interested but did not have the courage to go for an animal larger than herself. Sadly it is an avid hunter - seems to be good at catching robins and blackbirds, and lizards :-( . I threw so many cups of water at it before we finally gave in and welcomed it into the house (post Freddie). It was the one cat that seemed to be immune to ultrasonic cat scarers, though they made its ears twitch.
