FreeLists / tn-bird / [TN-Bird] Kingston [Roane] -- Crows attacking a cat

["Raincrow" <raincrow@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all
I hope I styled my subject line correctly. Been so long since I posted that 
I've forgotten the rules. This is about an incident in Kingston, Roane County, 
East TN.
Yesterday, my ex called to report that my step-cat was attacked by 3 American 
crows** and came in the house missing a bit of skin and fur. It makes sense, 
since crows chase hawks, owls, and other predators, but neither of us has heard 
of a cat-mobbing before.

Have any of you heard of crows mobbing cats?? If so, I would be very interested 
in your experiences.

Happy holidays,

Liz Singley
Kingston [Roane] TN


**(are we listing genus/species these days? Corvus brachyrhynchos, I think)
