Well, for a minute I could!!

I was sitting at my desk which is right beside the windows in the sunroom. The bird feeders are just outside in the yard and I can see them from where I sit.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw the hanging bird feeder start wiggling back and forth and some sort of commotion was going on beside the back porch that I didn't have a good view of. The birds were making a racket, too....fussing and chirping.

I stood up and looked out the window and saw a CAT with a bird pinned on the ground. Had his big 'ole paw right on top of the flapping, fluttering little thing. I ran out the back door and around to the bird feeder area clapping my hands and making all sorts of strange noises trying to scare the cat off. Well, it worked. The cat ran off and the birds all flew somewhere. They'll probably never come back after that show I put on . But they all seemed okay and I didn't see any blood on the ground. Just a few feathers.

I just stood there......and finally realized how quickly I had made it out the door. Anybody watching probably wouldn't have called what I did "running" but it's the quickest I've moved in several years! Now.....I'm in pain and my legs feel like jello!

I feel better now knowing that if there is an emergency I can still move......albeit awkwardly.
