Jingle bells to you too

Uploaded: December 18, 2006

Description

Not everyone likes Xmas decorations. This is Mildred, our latest boarder, who is rather partial to chasing birds. The small bells on cat collars were just not enough, I saw just what I was looking for, in with the Xmas decorations. As you can see by her look, our opinions differ. Taken on Auto, hand held, about 5 minutes ago in our backyard. I wish you could hear the birds "laughing" at her.

LOL. Poor kitty. My grandmother had a cat that would chase birds. She used to bring them into the house & leave them as presents ... the little bell she had around her neck didn't work too well either. Anyway ... cute & humorous. Made me smile :) #3717741

This is so funny, Chris. Though I can understand why this beautiful creature doesn't join in the laugh. She's adorable. A wonderful portrait and presentation. #3725486

Awww, Sweet little Mildred looks adorable with her bells on... even if she is being laughed at by the birds!

Wonderful image, Chris!! #3729474

Thanks everyone, I am pleased you all see the merit in my invention!! So far she is handling the bells OK, can still climb up & down the ladder to get on the roof. And the birds think it's wonderful!! Happy holidays to you all & take lots of good piictures. #3730237

She can't believe it either, but the birds think it's a marvellous idea. All the best for the New Year. #3768101

That is really hysterically funny! I thought you just did this for a holiday theme, but when I read your description I about fell off the couch laughing. I bet she is furious with you! Still, a beautiful image and a beautiful cat. Happy New Year Chris! #3774292

Poor Mildred just stands & lets me put them on her, I guess she accepts her fate. She's only very young & gentle & runs up to our other old cats who show the same feelings towards her as the birds & she seems to be so happy. I hope eto get a bigger outdoor enclosure, then she won't have to wear the bells. A lot of people thought I had her dressed for Xmas. Happy New Year to you too!! #3774338

Chris Ebben February 25, 2007

She has been behaving & is only needing one bell at the moment. I think she was wondering why she had picked here for her new home!!! Thanks for commenting. #3992927
