CARDINAL

Old cat, Bo, thinks he is a bird.
He has been seen perched on a small round post, looking like an owl.
Cats aren't normally inclined to do so.
Last Spring, he settled himself in the key lime tree on a nest of bird eggs,leaving all the eggs ready for hatching soon.
The mother bird was most distraught for the duration, however, letting us all know, loudly and clearly.
This week, Bo is sitting in the grapefruit tree, home of a blue jay nest and a cardinal nest.
Much to the dismay of both mothers, Bo, did not budge from his post on a limb near the nests.
So, until the squawking finally woke him, irritated at the intrusion, he  left the tree to the birds.
Old Bo will is surely waiting to go to the heavy side layer and return as a mother bird.
Hopefully, he will return to my trees when he does, for he is a dearly loved, this gentle friend.
