You're all welcome to visit! Just imagine, having friends to ride with! I don't think Milly has ever seen a cat. He would probably be scared to death. He's kind of a fraidy cat. Like, a towel on my head can send him into a panic. Dill, in his prime, could beat up cats, but now, old and crippled, he's afraid of them, too. You should have seen him, though. The cats were not allowed (by Dill) to sit on the couch, and he could send them running as fast as they could go out of the room! And these weren't wimpy housecats, either, they were part-time barncat- rat and gopher hunters! You probably don't know this, but pigeons have a secret defense called wing-slapping, which is like getting a high-speed sharp, karate-chop-like blow, faster than the eye can see, with a loud snapping sound. It doesn't hurt too much, and is how they bicker amongst themselves, but is very frightening to humans and other unsuspecting animals. Plus, they bite like crazy and hang on like little birdy pitbulls. Doves of peace, whatever!!!
