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. )

Well, except for the cats LOL

Actually, though, LB and Rocky ignore the birds now. 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.
