Elvis and his pet bird. Aww. How cute.

Awww. Look. Elvis brought a new friend home. They hung out in the kitchen, playing and enjoying each other's company. His new friend is a baby pigeon. Isn't that cute? After a while the pigeon seemed to be getting tired, so I made them go back outside to play on the back deck. They are still out there, but the baby pigeon is taking a little nap now.

:(

I know. I know. I do not like that I have a cat who goes outside and kills things.
Although, it's much more socially acceptable if cats kill mice, than killing cute little baby birds, isn't it?
But, we encourage these little carnivores to live in our homes, and really, it's not surprising that they get tired of our attempts to mollify them with catnip and pretend fuzzy cat toys and cat food pellets in the shape of little fish. Pretty hard to override instinct.

Oh. My kitchen floor isn't really that dirty. Well OK, it is. It rained a lot yesterday, that's right by the back door and the Rottweilers track in tons of mud. Sometimes one just has to relax housekeeping standards...!
