[Leica] IMG: Tracks

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Don,

Don't have a cat door, so they can't get in that way.  But, did have a 
very active cat.  He would listen at the base of the garage door, for 
birds pecking away at the seeds, etc, that blew up along the door.  Then 
he would swipe his paw beneath the rubber seal strip on the door, and 
pull in a bird.  He was always a hunter.
