Kitty N Budgies

Surprisingly, the kitty is only moderately interested in the budgies, and has made no attempts to stalk them. She does watch them from time to time, intently. We keep the doors to the room they are in closed whenever we (humans) are not home, and at night to avoid leading the kitty into temptation. However, last night, she was delivered from evil, as a door to their room was left open, yet she didn't spend time in there; she slept sweetly the whole night and did not vary in her routine of sleeping through the night, and awakening K with a sweet lick on the chin about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. So far, so good.

....and FRIENDS?

Dear Gentle Readers, I realize we have been absent for quite a while, but it's been hectic.

The budgies greatly enjoy the outdoors by (cage goes out to hang from the the front porch in the am, and goes in at dusk). That is not an uncommon practice in my neighborhood. Interestingly, most of the people who have budgies here are hispanic. Parrots seem quite popular as a pet in that demographic it seems.

Also, keeping the budgies on the porch during the day keeps them away from their new "friend", a kitty named Shania. As a dear friend said (and dear sister imitated by saying) "its risky...you can't reverse thousands of years of evolution". True, but we can make things work. Furthermore, this begs the question, "Is biology destiny?" The biggest problem, is that Shania doesn't realize that the budgies are PEOPLE just like her, and me.

Finally, note that Hedgies is gone from the title; it is now Budgies and Friends. I just can't think about getting another pet now, while I am working with two sets of creatures now. Perhaps a hedgehog will be in the future, but that could be far into the future.
