My cat makes happy sounds when she watches the birds

This is so cute

The person looks like a french noble looking down on those filthy peasants wanting bread

When I try to do this the cat usually just looks at me in disgust and slowly walks away. It reminds me of a related Far Side cartoon.

I do this with my dog, our couch is against a window that overlooks my building's courtyard so she's always watching people come and go. If I'm waiting for food or something I'll watch with her, she seems to really enjoy it.

Random toilet thought: I wonder if doing that with your cat actually builds some familial bond with them different from the habituated human that they may perceive us to be. Specifically an actually pride member coparticipating in hunting. To be honest I reckon they probably think we're cramping their style and would prefer that we simply fuck off and get some catnip.
