It wasn't me...honest! (Cat style innocence!)

My husband let the cats out into the garden early today,  as it was one of those warm springy days.
When I got up a short while later to check on them, I peered into the garden and saw my three very lovely, sweet cats sitting on the lawn. How lovely and happy they look, I thought. Then I saw it.... a short distance from were they were sitting was....a pile of feathers and a very deceased bird. (Not a parrot though, Miles!!)
"Who is responsible for this?" I asked them. "Does anyone want to discuss this with me? Own up? Confess?"
I was met by serene butter-wouldn't-melt gazes! I think they were each saying: "What me? Never! How could you possibly think that!"
I still havn't found out who the culprit is, they just all blame each other!

Message from Bella, Liffey and Pie:

We have sneaked onto the computer and just seen the above message. Isn't it always they way? Just because we are caught with the 'evidence', we automatically get the blame! Talk about being framed. Obviously, another cat killed the bird and deposited it in our garden and then disappeared so it looked like we were the guilty party. That is truly, honestly what happened.
Peace and love to all small flying creatures,

Oh dear! That's the downside of outdoor cats.

I once came home from work, 20 minutes before the plumber was due to do some work in the bathroom. I went upstairs and found it absolutely full of feathers. No sign of anything else and of course Alexander was nowhere near the scene of the crime.

Perhaps it wasn't dead...but just pining for the fjords...?
(beautiful plummage..!)....

Miles - I'm still laughing at your reply! Excellent! No, it had definately joined the 'choir invisibule'.

Ann - yes, and as we have a small piece of woodland beside the house there are a lot of birds that visit the garden and they are quite tame. I am always on 'bird protection' duty when the cats are out, frightening away any potential victims. I often wonder why an animal lover such as myself can be so besotted by these ruthless cat creatures!!

Maria,
It wasn't an African swallow, was it....?  You didn't find any coconuts lying around, did you...?

(ok ok - I'll stop....! )

Miles, ok, i promise I'll try and stop this too, but one last one I couldn't resist: It may have been an Albatross. I heard the cats discussing it:
"What flavour is it then?"
"Well it's b****y albatross flavour isn't it! What do you expect!"
LOLOL!
