I so incredibly just saved a bird's life just now. I was watching Emeril with my son and our cat Rusty roared into the tv room as if someone had shoved a white hot sewing needle up his ass. Then I heard a +thud+ on the window and Rusty jumped at it, and re-emerged with a little sparrow in his mouth. I rushed over (hoping he wasn't injured bad) and was able to grab him carefully. I looked him over and saw that he was fine so I put him outside in the birdbath. He just kinda looked stupified for a minute or two, then cocked his head, looked at me and Chris, then flew away as if nothing had happened.

That's one lucky s.o.b.

Incidentally, Rusty isn't too pleased with me right now.
