Me and Mom and the big man like a lot of the same things. We all like milk. We like to have coffee in the morning and we really like our porch in the back in the screen around it so the grey cat can't get in. We like sitting outside and we like to work in our yard and our pretty flowers.

Me and Mom and the big man all like birds. I don't think we like them the same. Mom and the big man like to watch them play and they really like to hear them chirping in the mornings. Mom has a nice round water bowl for birds to splash in. She likes to watch the birds and I like to sneak up on them and catch them.

We have pictures of chickens all in our kitchen. The people kid April who makes people houses pretty says Mom needs to stop putting pictures of chickens around. Mom likes chickens a lot, and not just the dead ones that people eat. She thinks chickens are very funny because they are very stupid, like dogs. When Mom was a little girl, she stayed at her people grandmother's house where a bunch of chickens lived. Mom said the chickens were so stupid they would stand out in the rain and drown because they would not get under the house. Because Mom liked chickens when she was little, the big man bought her some to put in our new flower bed, but these chickens won't drown.

Mom has pretty pink birds in our back flower bed and the people kid Julie says Mom's pretty pink birds are called redneck. She tells Mom to get those redneck birds out of our yard and Mom will not do it. I know about chickens and other birds, but until the people kid Julie told us the birds were rednecks, I did not know about redneck birds. I have talked to my friends Ink and Sammie and asked them if they knew about redneck birds. Sammie has heard of rednecks before but did not know they were birds. Ink did not know about redneck birds.

We have mean birds around our house that screech at me and fly down and try to peck me called mockingbirds. I get very tired of the mean birds, they get on my nerves. Last night I was helping Mom and the big man work in the tent houses in the yard and the mean bird was trying to get me. He would not leave me alone, he was flying all over me and trying to peck me. I was trying to work and help the big man and Mom and had to keep hissing at the mean bird. I sat down in the yard and the bird just kept flying to me. Mom was laughing because the bird was trying to peck me. I was very mad! It is not cool for a bird to peck a cat! I tried to swat the bird down but he was too mean and too fast.

This morning I came in and had coffee with Mom. She put on her white shoes with laces and a cap to run away. When she got back, I went out in the garage to roll around with her and do stretches called yoga. That mean bird came into the garage chirping at me and trying to get me! I am tired of that bird! It will not leave me alone!

Mom went in the house so she could get ready to go her new office and work. I told her I did not want to go in the house and I would come in later to help her in her office. She tried to talk me into coming in the house but I did not want to.

I am a smart cat. I stayed outside this morning to take care of some stuff. I am not worried about that mean bird anymore. Because I am a cool cat.
