Mad Moomin strikes again, my cat is definitely loony :-)

yes.the evil that are blue jays. they attacked this silver tabby i used to have every chance they got.pecked him on his lil head :( finally he figured out if he hid between two parked cars in the driveway,he could see them,but they couldn't directly get him. that cat leaped up at least 5 feet in the air from between the cars and finally got it one day as it was swooping at him.

Wow, I haven't seen birds gang up on a cat! I know magpies can be a bit viscious as I've heard of them swooping on people (esp. kids) who get close to their nests. Actually, my brother was cleaning some upstairs windows (hanging out of them!) and was attacked by a crow. As he was leaniing somewhat precariously, it really freaked him out. His girlfriend said he got a "crazy, wild-eyed look" and he was still jumpy an hour later when he came to my house. Of course he was ridiculed and called a sissy for the rest of the day and I still sneak up on him and make (bad) crow squawks whenever I get the chance lol.

I don't let the cats who have owned me outside, as they are usually great hunters, & the small bird population will go down. As well as rabbits! I had a small parrot, a specktacled amazon, about 6-8 inches high, who has since passed away, who used to chase my 10 lb cat down the hall! Magpies, related to crows, are a very intelligent family of birds! I do not doubt they conspired to get rid of this interloper! That must have been something to watch! I am looking for a cat now, but it has to start as a kitten, so the birds I have now (2 parrots) will be able to establish dominance in the household, & hopefully the kitty will remember & not bother them. I taught my last cat to avoid those beaks, hoefully I can do it again!

I have never seen birds attack a cat before. That must have been a sight to see. Your cat sounds like she is a little devil. I must go find your other discussion about the fridge. Aren't cats a wonderful source of entertainment?

Awww Poor Moomin getting bullied by the magpies, poor liitle thing! Maybe that is payback for opening the fridge and eating all the food! lol We started to feed our cat Tia out on the back porch - one night we heard a noise and looked on the back step to find a hedgehog eating the remnants of Tias food and Tia hiding behind a small tree about 5 feet away! There were also a group of blackbirds that used to chase her away and eat her food - we didn't want her to starve so we started feeding her inside again! Maybe Tia and Moomin ar related! xxx

I know that the Magpies in my yard have absolutely no fear of the cats. Crows, who belong to the same family as magpies, gang up on owls when they find them. Both crows and magpies are really smart birds.

Poor little kitty! I did see a cat scared by a crow once. The cat slept on a neighbor's roof regularly, and a crow swooped down and awakened the cat with a squawk, scaring him away for a short while. The cat was back in the same spot, sound asleep, the next time I looked.

We have quite a large crow population where I live, so there are quite a few nests around. All the neighbourhood cats are forever finding these nests and provoking the crows. The crows will gang up and try to attack the cats who are near their nests. My cat Max got stuck on a ledge in our chimney once, as the crows were dive bombing him to scare him away, he soon came hurring back inside the house. Also the crows tend to gang up on the magpies that are nesting nearby and the other day I saw them diving at a lone seagull that was flying overhead.

Lmao! That is soo funny! I have never seen the birds attack a cat before. What I have seen though is my cat sitting in the window twitching her tail and chattering while looking at the birds. However, when you let her outside and she sees the birds she gets scared :)

ya,me tooo.ihavent seen any bird stand up to a cat....
