sneaky - javajoe's picture of the day for 10/11/08

Published Oct. 11, 2008

Here's a rare substitution in my Picture of the Day planned images. As some of you may know, I have the rest of the year's daily images planned already. But I thought this photo I snapped today was too funny to pass over.

I walked through the house today, glanced out the backdoor, and saw my neighbor's cat crouched and crawling very slowly toward the bird feeders. I ran to grab my camera then, lo-and-behold, I had to change the lens so I could zoom-in on the action. As soon as I held up my camera, the cat gracefully tip-toed to beneath the bird feeder, then took aim at the poor bird. That's when I snapped this picture. Then the cat jumped into the air, the bird flew away safely, and the cat held onto the feeder for a few seconds. Unfortunately, I wasn't fast enough to snap a photo of the cat hanging to the feeder for dear life.

It was quite a sight, and nobody was harmed or injured. The bird escaped safely. The cat landed on its feet. I snapped the picture. And that's my picture of the day.

Hope you're having a great weekend!

Great pic, JJ!!

JJ - what a shot! Bet your heart was pounding, too.

Glad the birdie was safe, and glad you added this!

Great job.

That is good. Cats really do bother birds. That is one of the reasons I prefer dogs.
