Lila went to the vet today for her health certificate and her rabies to go with my parents back to the Midwest.

the topic of rural living came up and the vet started joking about her getting plucked up by a hawk.

I didn’t think it was possible so I looked it up and no, she will not be plucked up by a hawk.

this message board thread was useful:

“How much weight can a hawk lift up?”

By the way, Lila is 11.3 lbs.
