The mourning dove incident

Well a little excitement yesterday... Our adopted alley cat cornered a mourning dove in our garage. When my husband went out to check on the laundry, the frantic bird saw a way out...through my kitchen, down the hall and into my 16 yr old son's bedroom. I kept the cat from following and my husband and son were able to urge the scared bird out the open bedroom window after several attempts. Fortunately the mourning dove was unharmed and flew off into the garden.
