A Parrot & a Kitten
Byrd loves yoghurt & so does Felix. Byrd had just been dipping his beak into the glass when Felix appeared. I think Felix thought having bird for breakfast may have been a better plan. Both my cats are very nervous of our parrot, whose really is called Byrd, for lack of finding a suitable name for him/her- we don't even know the gender of our feathery family member! If either of our cats wanders too close to Bryd's cage, they risk being nipped & are often chased out the room. Byrd has no fear.

Two Cats, Asleep Close By...
Petite (left) went missing briefly day before yesterday. I thought she was gone for good as she has never disappeared or so long, nor overnight. Now however, we think she has found a second set of 'owners' as she has taken to sleeping out. Some cats do this apparently. My thinking is that she really hates the new kitten Felix- she has zero tolerance which is now even worse since she returned from her wanderings. She hisses, spits & growls if she so much as hears Felix coming...it's becoming totally unpleasant. He generally makes a wide berth to get past Her Majesty. This evening I went up close to her & spoke to her as if she was a People. I told her this grouchiness has to end...that while Felix can be annoying, he is just a baby & she has to get over her bitch behaviour ASAP. She made funny little noises back at me. I must've looked like a twit having that convo. Maybe she understood. Anyway, at least I have some peace as they sleep on my bed tonight, quite close to each other as you can see. A little respite for the moment. I'll live in hope that it will last.
