A bird in the kitchen is worth - 2 hours work....

The cat has been driving me mad for 2 weeks - I was beginning to think he had a stomach ulcer because everything I put in front of him , he just turns his nose up at. Despite several brand changes and a small fortune later he is still tripping me up and charging towards his bowl whenevr I approach the kitchen. Today I had to press on with this essay which is due in next week so locked the little bugger in the kitchen shortly after I'd cleaned it and his bowls. After 3 hours and only 400 words later and a sore spasmy back I hear a crash from the kitchen. He's brought a plump young looking blackbird in which is sitting looking quite disturbed and pooping all over the windowsill. So cat gets locked away again (stupid cat) this time in the bathroom while I try to herd the bird out of the back door - only it's not that easy - it can still fly but he must of hurt it because it doesn't want to, it just kept going back and forward across the sill while I try to explain if it just moves 2 foot to the left it would see the open doorway waiting for it. They reckon that birds are much more intelligent than they originally thought due to folds in the cerebral cortex - not this one! 2 hours later it flys away and leaves me with poop and feathers to hoover and hard to reach surfaces to wash. The title of the essay is ; nervous sytems, function and survival. I'm going to write that birds are stupid and have no concept of glass - just because there is light coming through it, it doesn't mean it's an exit.
