    Last night, my son had the 3 cats out in the back yard brushing them. There was yellow cat hair flying all over the place. He forgot to pick it up and this morning the starlings were out there picking it up for their nests. Some baby birds are going to have a nice soft warm nest to sleep in! :)

    Now that's what I call recycling. I'm sure there will be lots of baby birds who'll appreciate a nice warm nest lining.

    That's a sweet story Capt. It's great to hear that a cat can be a benefit to a bird sometimes, rather than just a predator!
