WE get them in Seattle too. They remind me of French police officers somehow.

That's because they screech at you.

I'm sure everyone here has seen the "cats scared of cucumbers" video - but just in case:

Cats Scared of Cucumbers

That absolutely infuriates me. Terrifying an animal for amusement is neither funny nor amusing. it is cruel. The cats think a snake has come up behind them and given that most people pull this crap at the food bowl is even worse. That's where the cat feels safe.

I dwell with a very large (~22 pound) and very hairy and deeply cross-eyed mixed Siamese and Maine Coon tomcat named Max (short for "Maximum"). He is about as ferocious as a brine shrimp. Late this afternoon, it being a nice day, I opened a door upstairs to an enclosed deck to let him and his more delicate and refined sister out for some air, which they love. Just as he poked his nose outside, a magpie flew to landing on the deck railing right in front of him, and began screeching at him. Being a severely savage carnivorous predatory feline, he . . .

ran inside and hid.

I hope you gave the poor lad a cuddle after the terrible ordeal he had just been through.

Boy, I miss our mogs.
