    Yeah, Timothy Treadwell thought so too. I didn't start this thread
and I suggest it be ended before all our brains turn to mush. There are
between 200 and 400 billion birds and 500 million domestic and feral
housecats in the world, all of whom are looking for a meal. If we saw
100 crows feeding 100 cats we would still be as far away from "often" as
we are from Tau Ceti. Or, as Woody Allen put it, "The lion shall lie
down with the lamb, but the lamb won't get much sleep."
