So, anyway, going back to Sunny. This is the only explanation I ever came up with that made any sort sense when I started trying to understand her terror. The part I find amazing is that she recognizes gloves, even when they're not being worn, and is only afraid of brown gloves, even when not worn. So glad Sunny found you. She must think she's in heaven now, with such and understanding human. ) -- Marina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki |

They learned quickly that paying too much attention earned them a spritz from the water bottle. Not that I ever let the birds out unless the cats are safely locked out - especially since I know Rocky is quite the birder. Sammy is another case, since she grew up with the birds. She still watches intently when they flap their wings in the cage, but I don't think she things of them as prey. She does know that birds can bite, as a kitten she would stand on the recliner and rest her paws on the cage, and Sunny would rush over and bite her toes. Sometimes Sammy still climbs up on top of the cage to try to nap. Sunny doesn't appreciate that at all, and will sometimes bite her toes and reach up and out tufts of fur when laying lays down. I'd guess about 50% of the time Sam gives up and hops down. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |
