    I believed it was boring and weird (“Why can’t they just goggle the bird?”). But I recently bought a bird feeder for my cat and I’m more invested in the birds than she is. It’s like boring Pokémon, I love it lol.

      Honestly, my husband and I birdwatch and we treat it like Pokémon Snap when we go out! Myself with binoculars, husband with camera.

      I felt like it adds another dimension or another sense to our world. When I walk from parking lot to work for example, I can hear and identify what birds are around just off sound alone.

      Hold up! You bought a bird feeder to lure birds in for your cat to kill?

        Oh god, no. It was just to give her something to look at through the window. Like “cat TV.”

          We sprinkle old bread on the front steps so our cat can watch the chipmunks.

            I leave some out for a chipmunk as well. I’ve named him Ignacio.
