... /hopefully/ post-mortem.

One of our cats was surprisingly good at inviting feathered critters, 
and while she herself was quite small, looking like a half-grown all her 
life, once she coaxed a fully grown /live/ magpie to come with her, 
announcing and presenting her guest with all the pride a cat can muster 
(which is a lot).

Once she had our full attention, she let go of her new friend, probably 
so we could play with it, too. I guess she expected the visit to be more 
extended and exciting though: The magpie tried straight for the garden, 
only to hit an invisible barrier in mid-flight. That might have saved 
its life: Dazed from the impact with the glass pane it was no longer any 
fun. We sat it somewhere in the garden, and some time later it was gone, 
without any sign of foul play.

Coincidently, that cat was the very same one that had run into one of 
our windowed garden doors herself...
