Naoise is the resident boss cat who is always in charge OF EVERYONE.
Naosie was being harassed by Apostle birds*.
I replied, I bet Dui is giggling in his head seeing Naoise being intimidated. Watch closely, you will see Naoise at the bottom of the
The apostlebird (Struthidea cinerea), also known as the grey jumper, lousy jack or happy family,[2] is a quick-moving, gray or black bird about 33 cm (13 in) long. It is a native to Australia where it roams woodlands, eating insects and seeds at, or near, ground level. Apostlebirds often travel in groups of about 12; for this reason, they were named after the 12 Biblical apostles.
Dui, this is a shocking post. Bertie would have been most disappointed and would have two words for you. "MAN UP'.

PS Nobby's predecessor Bertie sent Dui a poem when he first came to live with HER. It contains advice on 'putting the Scot into Scottie': https://bouncingbertie.blogspot.com/2014/06/advice-for-dui-putting-scot-into-scottie.html
lousy jack? what a cool name... it seems that are the berds mr. hitchcock used once... a big hello to the downunder friends...
ReplyDeleteNaoise knows she is The Boss!
ReplyDeleteThose are big ol birds. They would make a good snack for her if they get a little closer.
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteOf course she is - cats are natural bosses. Except when they are being scaredy cats... YAM xx
they appear to be a lot like crows, but a different sound. Naoise did not act afraid but also did not try to pounce, i think there were to many and she is a smart kitty. she is beuatiful and I miss seeing Dui.
ReplyDeleteNaoise does rule, doesn't she! Those Apostle birds are big birds!
ReplyDeleteCats can controls dogs sometimes. They have those claws which are quite painful if used on us pups! Happy Friday the 13th!
ReplyDeleteOh Dui, we understand. Cats can be VERY scary! BOL

Those are some screechy scratchy voices those birds have. Very different... kind of like crows but not. Love the Boss Cat that just flops down a bit out of their territorial invisible line. She cracks me up on her back not letting the dog pass! Enjoyed this post after I figured out who was who. My brain isn't working well today. Very cool name for the birds!
ReplyDeleteThe kitty and birds seemed to be playing with each other ~ in a fashion ~ Love the Boss Cat ~ Kool Kitty ~ Xo

Those sure are pesty birds. Naoise sure is a brave cat to hang outside with them screaming at her.
ReplyDeleteThose birds look a bit like "boat-tailed Grackles." https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/assets/photo/67363931-720px.jpg
ReplyDeleteThey are kind of pesty too.
Those birds are wild and crazy but those were fun videos!
ReplyDeleteNasty birds- you need to attack. :) XO
ReplyDeleteJust don't let the Trout Towne Tabbies see this, they hate birds with a passion.
ReplyDeleteBoss Cat is boss in the house, that doesn't surprise me. With such birds, well, you're outnumbered and they can get away straight through the air.
Thank you for joining Feline Friday!
I don't blame youl. Those birds are vicious and of all the animals they have the best Air Force
ReplyDeleteWe think that just means Dui is smart! Thanks for the introduction to the Apostle bird, too!
