I Am Still Unsure About This Intrusion!

Filed in PersonalTags: Birds, Cats, Pets, Photos

I don't know about all this attention to the quadruped interloper that invaded my home a week ago. But, so far, it mostly ignores me. Just to be sure, I'll stay way back here in my cage, and occasionally flap my wing at it.

I will now be posting here as well. This post will be short, as it is keeping me from valuable napping time.

I will stand on the plastic thing, so you can't use it.

Another fine corner. It will prove useful for my back-scratching needs.

If I am going to pose for you, you must at least have the camera in focus.

I even splurged, and drank the whole glass of sparkling grape juice. Anna made me do it!

This picture reminds me of another blogger in much the same situation, and who had this to say:

For all you single guys, let me say this. If you ever find a woman who can juggle a baby, a bottle, and a glass of champagne, and look this good doing it - you marry her.

For the record, Anna managed all three (except it was sparkling grape juice, not champagne) - and as for marrying her now that I've found her: I intend to!
