18:23 approximately, I happened to glance outside and saw that a dark cat had just seized Ball of Fluff in its mouth-  I charged out there and yelled "NO!" at the top of my lungs, whereby the frightened cat dropped Ball of Fluff and ran off.  The baby seagull walked toward me, uninjured, and apparently, not even in shock.

The baby seagull's now resting quietly, after walking around for some time after the cat attack. Close one.

How do photographers of wildlife documentaries DO it?  I'm the sort who will rescue spiders and set them back outdoors, or fish earthworms out of rain puddles and set them back on dryer ground.

People always talk about the law of the jungle;  and yet it seems that that jungle is free to make up its own rules. Otherwise, how would we hear news articles about elephant herds freeing antelopes from a fenced enclosure and, in another documentary, another elephant herd saving an orphaned  baby elephant from another herd just as it was becoming surrounded by hyenas?
