We had this beautiful dove nesting in our backyard trellis. We were all so excited about it. She had a bunch of eggs she sat on all day and all night. We tried to be quiet when we were in the backyard because she was very skittish, and would leave her nest if we were too noisy. We were really hoping we might see baby birds soon. Unfortunately, cats can climb. And some darn cat got to her nest (and probably her too). We were so sad to discover her nest all torn to shreds. Another reason to solidify our dislike of cats. (My boys all claim they are "allergic" to cats...I didn't teach them this...really.)

Probably that STUPID orange cat that thinks he/she owns the neighborhood and rudely strolls all over the place. He'll get his (or she)!

Oh dear. The I HATE CATS gene actually started with my Mom. I see it is being passed on very well. So sorry that the cat got them. Yes, that is enough to make you really never like cats again.
