Last night, the stray cat (or neighbor's cat, or feral cat, I have no idea,) pushed through the crack in the bottom of my aviary door. Or maybe it was this morning, while I was in bed. It usually starts to lurk by around 1 AM. I heard it howling first thing when I got up this morning and I immediately had a bad feeling. I didn't hear any of my birds.
It's trapped inside my aviary. It killed all of my birds. Morgan, a robin I was going to release today; Hotch, a non-releasable robin with a missing wing-tip, and Car, who I had for 4 years. Car was my surrogate to all of the aviary birds, teaching them how to eat on their own.
Their bodies are all still inside the aviary and I can't get them out yet, because I don't know if this cat is feral or has mites or what. I'm just waiting for a word from animal control. Maybe they can come and take it away forever.
And maybe it gets a nice indoor home from now on, or maybe it has Fe-Leuk and they put it to sleep or something, I don't even care. I just hate it and I want it gone and I want to bury my birds.
so sorry

Hang in there.
