Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Hm, looks like a DUMETELLA CAROLINENSIS to me" hissed Eddy under his breath. I'll sneak close and then- just one jump." The capitalized words give the answer. We don't need the color, just the type of bird.

Answer: Catbird

"You call that sneaking, brother Eddy? That bird has flown.", smirked cat Kim.

The gray catbird (Dumetella carolinensis) is a medium-sized North and Central American perching bird belonging to the mimid family. There are other catbirds around the world, they all got their name because of their calls, which sound like cat conversation.

2. There was the bird, now up on a tree. The noises it made sounded strangely like RELATING TO A BARD'S POETRY. A poetic, ancient cursing of cats. Scramble the answer to the previous question and drop a letter. The capitalized words give the answer.

Answer: Bardic

"Doesn't sound like poetry to me, Eddy. He's laughing at you, cat," said Kim with a smug grin resembling the Cheshire Cat.

Bardic poetry is still practised in Ireland. You surely write better poetry, while a cat is sleeping on your lap.

3. "Don't be so SHARP, Kim. After all: I would share the bird with you." Scramble the answer to the previous question and drop a letter. The capitalized word gives the answer.

Answer: Acrid

"I, acrid, Eddy? I'm still polite. And I can catch me a bird, if I want to!"

Acrid is caustic or sharp in language. It can also relate to taste or smell. If a tom cat is not neutered, he might emit such a smell when he is marking his territory.

4. "OK, Kim. It is your time now for an ASSAULT on the feathered one!" Scramble the answer to the previous question and drop a letter. The capitalized word gives the answer.

Answer: Raid

Eddy wished to roll on the grass laughing, but the warning looks of Kim stopped him in time.

"Looks like your bird has flown, too." was all he said solemnly. But he felt like purring for joy.

A raid can also be a surprise attack by a small armed force. Or to sneak into a place to take something stealthily. A speciality of cats.

5. The bird looked down at the cats. "Oh, can nobody RELIEVE me of these turbulent cats?" Scramble the answer to the previous question and drop a letter. The capitalized word gives the answer.

Answer: Rid

"Look, Kim. The bird is jumping further up the tree. Our chances are declining."

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" was a question asked by King Henry II of England. Someone did and Thomas Becket was slain in the cathedral. Let's hope the cats fare better.

6. "What is going on outside? What mischief are you two up to?". The voice sounded RAGED. Scramble the answer to the previous question and add a letter. Yes, it will go up the letter ladder from now on! The capitalized word gives the answer.

Answer: Ired

Two cats changed into a relaxed position, licking paws and looking to every place but to the source of the voice.

"Ire" is the well-loved word of crossword authors, meaning anger and wrath.
Some behavior of your cats might make you feel ired.

7. "Maybe we should go inside, Kim. After all: there is chicken on the menu today," "You are right, Eddy. At least we ATTEMPTED our best." Scramble the answer to the previous question and add a letter. The capitalized words give the answer.

Answer: Tried

They started to go into the direction of the garden door. But a noise behind them made them stop. The bird was again on the lawn!

If you don't succeed try, try again. Tried is the past tense of try. Will our cats try again?

8. Kim slowly turned around. Noiselessly she started to STROLL back to the lawn... Scramble the answer to the previous question and add a letter. The capitalized word gives the answer.

Answer: Stride

And pounced. A few feathers fluttered in the air. Eddy stood in awe.

Another word for "stride" may be promenade.

9. Would this courageous action LOWER HIM IN RANK? He thought he was the top cat. Scramble the answer to the previous question and add a letter. The capitalized words give the answer.

Answer: Disrate

In his mind he saw her strutting around, getting the best cushion and the nicest sun spot. He didn't dare to look until he heard a prolonged hissing and spitting from Kim.

Another word for disrate is demote.

10. The bird had flown. Kim was just left with a few feathers, poor girl. What A CALAMITOUS EVENT! Scramble the answer to the previous question and add a letter. The capitalized words give the answer.

Answer: Disaster

"Can I have a feather, Kim? They look lovely". If looks could kill, Eddy would have been a dead cat.
He considered himself lucky hearing the clattering of food bowls. Both cats dashed inside.
Soon they started munching down a succulent chicken dinner. Maybe a catbird was too big to handle. Mice might be a better choice for the next hunt.

Disasters are usually more serious than a bird escaping from cats.

I hope you enjoyed the quiz as much as a cat enjoys chicken. Or tuna. Or ....
