Cat vs. Bird - an epic tail

(This is not Gracie. My friend Theresa sent me these photos. Thanks T. They have provided me with hours of entertainment. It just seemed like there was a story to be told. So here it goes...)

Cat: Ah HA! We meet again, Bird.

Bird: Oh, Hello...Cat.

Cat: Don't try to ignore me, Bird. [poke. poke] I am here to settle this. Once and for all!

Bird: Fine, let me just finish this call.

Cat: No you don't! There will be no phone calls to your Big Bird friends. This is between You and ME. Mano y Mano, or Claw to Paw if you like.

Cat: First you see me with my left, then...

Cat: Wait! What? How did you get there? What do you think you are doing to me?
Bird: Why do you think they call the ancient martial art discipline "the crane"? (Aside) They really should have called it "the Parakeet" - I taught that stupid crane everything he knew.

Bird: Now I shall deliver my final blow - the parakeet death beak!

Bird: Ahhh, another cat who was no match for my unflappable powers.

Bird: I must secure this cat, but first - where did I drop my dang keys?

Bird: [With a mouth full of fur, dragging cat] Just...a....few...more...claws....almost there...

[Later] Cat: You may have beat me this time Bird, but I will not rest until I die. If it is the last thing I do...blah, blah, blah...

Bird: For all you cats out there. Let this be a lesson to you. Never pick a fight with a parakeet, and just say no to catnip.

(No animals were harmed in the making of this photo story.)

Peace, MEA
