Spotted Dove

I nearly ran over this Spotted Dove when I parked my car. I noticed it after I got out and saw the bird looked a bit off, with disheveled tail feathers. I was a bit worried as there were two cats in the yard, but I suspect that one of them was responsible for its present state.

It was not inclined to move as I took photos, but I did see it fly off later, though with a less grace than normal.
