Friday, December 21, 2007. We were awoken by the cat rampaging through the bedroom. When I turned on the light I found a sparrow on the windowsill – on the inside. When I opened the window to let her out she hopped onto the threshold. The cat pounced and the terrorized sparrow leaped – not out the window but into my arms. So I carried the bird downstairs, and out into the front yard. She rode around on my arm for several minutes as I looked for a safe branch when she spotted one of her own flew off to it. There she sat for at least 10 minutes until, I gather, she gathered her wits and flew away, uninjured I hope. Last Christmas I had to rescue a kitten, so I wonder what it will be next
