This is my first entry to any DPC challenge.
I'm not very satisfied with this one... I would have liked the cat to look at the bird but on the pictures where it happened the bird was too blurry or the cat was not blurry enough.
This one is a compromise...
That bird was suffering from insolation so we brought her home and gave her some water. Our cat didn't really pay attention to her.

Thanks everyone for the comments.
A lot of people pointed out the "out of focus" on the bird's head. Yeah, that's a pity :(
I didn't take enough time to correctly set my camera when I took the pictures, and I had to do the focus manually because I was too close to the bird. Maybe I should have chosen a smaller aperture and try to calm down and take my time ;-)
Well, better luck next time!
DOF semes off here. the head is blurred, but the body is not. maybe too shallow of an aperture on this one. maybe a little deeper and the feet and face could have been in focus. great job of blurring the background and making the eye figure out the "cat" back there. very nice imagination here. 6 :)
Awesome idea....is that a person holding the cat...oh well...it doesn't matter as it took me a while to work it out (if I am right) which means the initial reaction is the intended one. And that works for me. 8.
Almost so subtle I missed it. Sparrow needs a little sharper focus on the head area. Excellent idea though. Not enough time for a reshoot, I imagine! ;-)
Meets challenge well: "... take a photograph whose subject is enhanced by the bokeh of the background.". Enhanced, oh yeah! Even same colour scheme for both prey and predator. Difficult picture, but sharper bird would have made it even better.
