The sun's energy reaches a cat that eats a bird through the process of photosynthesis. Plants absorb sunlight and convert it into chemical energy, which is stored in their tissues. When a bird eats these plants, it consumes the stored energy, and when the cat eats the bird, it obtains that energy. Thus, the cat ultimately receives energy from the sun through the food chain.
