Y'know... My dad once had a cat when he was a kid. It was pretty good at keeping the local bird population in check. (And keeping the neighbors' dogs off the property, at that, too. There was one dog that would not come within ten feet of the property because of that cat.)
There was one particular incident, though. A song bird was sitting on a high branch, about thirteen feet off the ground (say about 4.5 meters), and it was looking down and taunting the cat. There was simply no other word for it. The bird was looking down at this cat, and twittering away like as though it was saying, "Nyaa, nyaa! You can't get me!"
And then the cat, like he had been sitting on a spring-loaded platform, rocketed up into the air and snatched the bird off the limb.
This bird had better watch itself.
(It would be one thing if it was only politicians it'd go after, but it's going after everyone in general. Not cool at all, really.)
