were two birds that had been shot.  Pussy followed us about
and passed the birds a number of times but took no
notice of them  But when  I gave one of the birds a
slight push with my foot sending towards the cat
she saw it and seized it and devoured it.  The other
bird only a few inches (afterward, when first had been pushed
a couple of feet) from it was not seen nor take the 
slightest notice of, even after 15 or 20 mins during which
time she was never very far away.  But as soon as I 
moved <s>this</s> it, she seized it, just as eagerly as she did
the first and devoured it.  Not far from the house I
found some Lespedeza violacea, also. [illegible] paniculata
