Usually, animals guard their food from the competition, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen one sitting on it.
Sometimes finding food is hard,
Instinct tells you to stand guard,
But when there’s no room to stand,
Sit down, let your big butt land.
No one else can get your food,
You don’t care if it seems rude,
Once you only stood and hovered,
Now you’ve really got it covered.

“Now you really have it covered”–that’s precious.

That is so true, Anneli. Sometimes, I watch the flocks of blackbirds that take over the skies around 4 pm at my house. I imagine what goes through their birdy minds.

Thanks, Ursula. I’m really happy that you like them. This morning one of the babies chattered and then came running when he heard the sunflower seeds being poured into the jar.

The newest addition to our menagerie, a tabby named Rusty, is fascinated with our dog’s kibble. Likewise, our dog Rango is fascinated with the cat’s food. With Rango’s quirky personality, I can imagine him sitting on the kibble like a hen on her nest.

It would be interesting whether their equivalent of “elbows on the table” would be “hanging your butt in the food dish.”
