I don't think that adult was going to share dinner with a kitty.

I thought it was pretty funny... Everything that bird could have done and all it did was bop that cat with its wing.
Silly kitty, fish is for birds!

Max, our fluffy tabby, sleeps on top of Arthurs cage. Merlyn, our Catalina is in love with our tuxedo, Aowyn, and he purrs and calls to her (LOL) . Here's a pic of Aowyn sitting with Arthur watching the birds outside....

Hey dusty, that cat looks a lot like our Mattie... who seems to be learning that the birds are to be coexisted with, not stalked.
I'd have been afraid the eagle would eat my cat!

Apparently the lady who made the vids lives on the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. She says in the comment section of her YouTube page that the eagles have so much game (fish) to eat that they haven't ever bothered the pets of the island. It's really rather remarkable how they live so close with those magnificent birds and the birds don't even blink at the people of the island. It's almost as if they're tame - but they're not. It's crazy.

Peaceful coexistence, would that it were not such an unusual thing.

I know I haven't been on here at all, but thought I'd add this one of two of our other beasties.
