Many decades ago my family lived in San Diego, along the migration 
route of shrikes, which liked to dive bomb the local cats for fun. 
Most of the local kitties hid during that time. Not so Little Bits, 
the 15-pound sealpoint Siamese. He would sprawl in the yard, looking 
oblivious, until some stupid shrike would take their chance. Little 
Bits would wait until the very last moment and then explode into the 
air, removing said menace, and adding to the variety of his diet. We 
had shrike remains littering our yard making it look like some 
strange archeological dig (G).
